On August 14, 2026, the Danish Gambling Authority (Spillemyndigheden) issued a fine to Billardklubben Brønderslev 1983 for breaching gaming legislation. The violation occurred on January 19, 2025, when the club offered two gaming machines—Mount Everest (ID: 000007aba9e1) and Apache (ID: 000009f6aa7b)—at its premises located at Gravensgade 10, 9700 Brønderslev, without valid inspection certificates. The gaming machines had not been inspected since March 2019, exceeding the mandatory five-year inspection validity period. Under Danish gaming regulations, each prize-awarding gaming machine must be accompanied by a valid inspection certificate issued by an accredited testing company, with certificates remaining valid for no more than five years. By operating the machines with expired certificates, Billardklubben Brønderslev 1983 violated Section 16(1), read in conjunction with Section 21(1) and (2), of Executive Order No. 1289 of November 29, 2019, concerning prize-awarding gaming machines in gaming halls and restaurants. This enforcement action demonstrates the Danish Gambling Authority's commitment to ensuring compliance with machine inspection requirements. Gaming venues must maintain current inspection documentation for all prize-awarding machines to operate lawfully. Operators should verify that all gaming machines on their premises have valid, current inspection certificates from accredited testing companies and implement systems to track inspection expiration dates to avoid similar violations.
