On 20 April 2026, the Danish Gambling Authority issued three orders and four reprimands to 25syv A/S for violations of the Anti-Money Laundering Act. The orders addressed failures in risk assessment under Section 7(1), internal controls under Section 8(1), and politically exposed person screening. Specifically, 25syv did not sufficiently assess risks associated with its online and land-based offerings, failed to document that internal control checks had been carried out, and did not conduct screening for politically exposed persons. The reprimands concerned violations of business procedures under Section 8(1), ongoing customer monitoring under Section 11(1)(5), record-keeping obligations under Section 25(3), and reporting obligations under Section 26(1). These violations occurred in the period prior to 11 January 2026 and included inadequate business procedures, insufficient ongoing monitoring of customers in the land-based offering from 1 October 2023 to 14 December 2025, inadequate record-keeping in connection with investigations, and a failure to report immediately when a money laundering suspicion could not be dismissed. The orders require 25syv to submit an updated risk assessment, documentation confirming internal control checks have been performed, and evidence of politically exposed person screening. The Danish Gambling Authority has set deadlines of one month, three months, and six months for 25syv to remedy the issues. The reprimands do not require corrective action as they concern violations that no longer exist. The authority has published learning points for gambling service providers to ensure compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing requirements.
