Spillemyndigheden of the Danish Gambling Authority (DGA) announced that Denmark would introduce new electronic ID requirements for online gambling starting 1 July.
MitID, Denmark’s new digital identification scheme, will finally phase out the country’s current system, NemID, this summer.
It has been used for accessing online banking and government websites, as well as certain digital services such online gambling, since more than a decade. However, NemID (which translates into EasyID in English) will be gradually phased out and replaced with MitID: MyID.
The Danish government has developed this technology in collaboration with the private sector to meet new security needs and include more advanced technology.
Operators are required to migrate to MitID. The DGA however stated that licensees can switch to MitID within a limited grace period.
It said: “The Danish Gambling Authority notes that it is possible to use both NemID and MitID until NemID is phased out, which means that licence holders will have a period to implement the changes that MitID requires.”
An update to Section 7 of Executive Order No. 1274 made this necessary. Executive Order no. 1274. 1276 and Executive Order No.
These both state that “the electronic ID must be an electronic ID from a Danish national identification scheme, or an electronic ID approved by the Danish Gambling Authority.”
MitID had been originally planned to launch May 2021. However, it was postponed. The DGA said it will publish a newsletter and update its guide on betting and online casino “as soon as possible.”
