Are land based casinos planning on stopping sending limo's for players?

Will they stop comping rooms and meals and travel packages etc to get their higher volume players back to the casino floors?

It's Denmark, not Vegas.

Wow, that is ridiculous when there are so many other important things governments should be concerned about.

If regulators were genuinely trying to save the citizens from gambling addiction, their regulations would be laser focused on limiting losing players from staking too much. The rest of the stuff they do is just them trying to grab a piece of the pie by force

This is all the hypocrisy of governments.

Acutely not Denmark, but close. Norway, the regulation of offshore bookmakers is responsible for the addiction of norwegians. At the same time, the monopoly Norsk Tipping trades billions of NOK and no longer causes addiction. Similarly, slot machines at many gas stations in Norway.
Likewise in Poland. When the government introduced the Gambling Act with a huge tax for licensed companies it initially fought to keep people from becoming addicted. For their sake.

The conclusion is simple. In every country it works.
If you can collect the tax then such gambling is not bad and addictive.
If one can't collect the tax then it is.

Of course, sometimes strange laws are introduced for the good of the players as is the case in Sweden and other countries (supposedly for the good).

I think the problem in general is elsewhere. Although I think self-exclusion should be binding and for that operators should get fines as they don't abide by it. But that's a longer topic.
