The update concerns a betting tipping service that markets odds from gambling operators, classified as indirect gambling marketing subject to advertising code violations.
The service functions as a third-party promoter of betting operators' odds and is subject to marketing conduct standards, though the primary focus is on advertising regulation rather than affiliate licensing.
Topic
The update describes a formal regulatory finding by Denmark's Gaming Advertising Board that a betting tipping service violates the industry Code of Conduct through prohibited marketing practices, including misleading authority claims and exploitative 'beat-the-game' rhetoric.
The board's determination that the service exploits vulnerabilities and lacks of knowledge among vulnerable persons relates to responsible gambling harm minimisation principles, though the primary focus is on advertising conduct violations.

TITLE: Denmark's Gaming Advertising Board Criticises SpilXperten's "Leanders Lukrative" Betting Tipping Service
BODY:
On March 24, 2026, Denmark's Gaming Advertising Board (Spilreklamenævnet) issued a critical opinion regarding "Leanders Lukrative," a subscription-based betting tipping service administered by SpilXperten and operated in collaboration with Benjamin Leander. The board initiated the case of its own motion after becoming aware of the marketing initiative through Danish media coverage in 2025.
The Gaming Advertising Board found that "Leanders Lukrative" constitutes gambling marketing subject to the industry's Code of Conduct (Adfærdskodeks), rejecting Better Collective's (the service owner) arguments that it operates as a news service and therefore falls outside the board's jurisdiction. The board determined that because the service's primary purpose is sharing odds offered by gambling operators, it qualifies as indirect gambling marketing regardless of whether operators directly finance it.
The board identified two specific Code of Conduct violations. First, under section 8.2, the board found that presenting Benjamin Leander—a former professional football referee with significant social media following on X—as an authority with special insight into football betting constitutes prohibited marketing. Second, under section 8.4, the board determined that the service's overall presentation employs "beat-the-game" rhetoric suggesting users can outsmart bookmakers through participation. While acknowledging the service's FAQ disclaimer and published performance tracking, the board concluded the marketing presentation exploits vulnerabilities, credulity, inexperience, and lack of knowledge among vulnerable persons in violation of the Code of Conduct.
The Gaming Advertising Board is an industry self-regulatory body established to adjudicate complaints regarding gambling marketing in Denmark and enforce compliance with the industry's Code of Conduct.
