Lotto (Denmark) — how prizes are taxed

Danske Spil prizes are paid tax-free to Danish players (the operator pays state gaming duty).

Denmark: the rules

Winnings from Danske Spil and any operator licensed by the Danish Gambling Authority (or licensed in the EU/EEA) are tax-free for the player, because the operator pays gambling duty. Winnings from unlicensed operators outside the EU/EEA are taxable as personal income.
