Who is behind it
Marathonbet runs a separate local company in each regulated market it enters. In Denmark that is Marathonbet Denmark ApS, which the Danish licence list names for marathonbet.dk. In Spain, Marathonbet Spain SA holds the licence for marathonbet.es. The group is private, and our sources do not show which holding company or investors sit above these local companies, so the chain ends at the Marathonbet group itself.
Licence and what it means for you
Marathonbet Denmark ApS holds an active licence from Spillemyndigheden, the Danish Gambling Authority, for online casino and betting. The public list does not give a licence number. Players in Denmark get Danish rules and can take complaints to the Danish regulator.
If you live elsewhere, check which Marathonbet company your site names: the Spanish and Italian sites have their own licence holders. Our data shows no Finnish licence. In Finland, Veikkaus keeps the exclusive right to online casino games and betting until the new Gambling Act takes effect.
