Denmark’s state-owned gambling operator Danske Spil has shut its YouBet subsidiary for offering betting markets on lower-tier Swedish football friendlies.

This weekend saw the SBTech-powered YouBet site go offline after it continued to offer betting markets on Swedish amateur football despite Danske Spil pulling similar markets from its main Oddset betting platform. Danske Spil claims that the mix-up was the result of “a mistake of our supplier” and the company “shut down the matches as soon as we discovered the error.”

Danske Spil had pulled the matches from Oddset after coming under heavy criticism for offering wagers on what essentially amounts to a beer league. Last week, a match between two seventh-tier Swedish squads was cancelled after players reported receiving calls from bettors all over the world either encouraging them or trying to put them off their game.

Niels Folmann, director of Danske Spil’s sports betting unit, originally told local media that the company was simply offering “what is available from the world of football right now.” The COVID-19 pandemic has called a halt to virtually all major football leagues, with Belarus being a notable (and notorious) exception.
