ROFUS (Register Over Frivilligt Udelukkede Spillere)
A person registers with ROFUS (via MitID/NemID or by contacting the authority) and chooses a temporary or permanent exclusion. Licensed operators must check ROFUS before allowing play, so an excluded person cannot gamble online, enter a land-based casino, or place onsite bets in Danish shops.
