Stake continues its expansion into the European market

On February 18, 2026, Stake announced that it had obtained a license from the Danish Gambling Authority (Spillemyndigheden). The platform is set to launch full operations in Denmark on March 1, 2026.

From that date, local players will be able to access Stake.dk and take advantage of the complete range of services, including sports betting and casino games. The company is also opening a new office in Copenhagen, located inside Parken Stadium,  the country’s main arena and home stadium of FC Copenhagen.

The Danish gambling market is regarded as one of the most strictly regulated in Europe. To secure approval, Stake had to comply with rigorous player protection rules, technical standards, and national legislation.

Ahead of its official launch, the company established local structures and operational processes to fully align with the requirements of the Danish regulator.

Entering Denmark represents a natural progression in Stake’s expansion strategy. Over the past years, the company has also obtained licenses in:

  • Colombia (2023)
  • Peru (2024)
  • Italy (2024)
  • Brazil (2024)

What is the role of the Danish market for Stake

Entering the Danish market reinforces Stake’s international position. Denmark represents a stable and financially mature market with high security standards.

Operating in regulated markets enhances Stake’s credibility among players and business partners while creating additional opportunities for expansion across Northern Europe.

At the same time, Stake's presence increases the competition within Denmark’s local gambling sector. The company aims to deliver high-quality service, transparency, and new entertainment options for Danish players.
