Merkur Group launches EveryMatrix platform for Merkur Bets across Denmark

Merkur Group has launched the next stage of its European sports betting technology strategy after Merkur Bets went live in Denmark on EveryMatrix omnichannel platform technology. The deployment brings the Danish retail betting network and digital operation onto the supplier's turnkey technology following a complex migration and integration programme. The announcement was made on 7 October 2026 by EveryMatrix.

The launch combines physical betting infrastructure with online products under one technology environment. EveryMatrix said its system now supports more than 1,000 sports betting terminals across more than 230 shops in Denmark while also powering the Merkur Bets online sportsbook and online casino.

Merkur Bets begins its Danish rollout

Merkur Bets is the new identity of the Danish Cashpoint operation. The rebranding took place in September 2026 as part of a broader move to bring Merkur's sports betting brands under a more consistent international identity. EveryMatrix's March agreement originally identified Cashpoint as the Danish brand and stated that it would become Merkur Bets after the platform migration was completed.

The transition therefore represents more than a change of name. It combines a refreshed brand presence with a new technology foundation covering retail and digital channels. For an operator managing multiple customer touchpoints, that type of consolidation can reduce fragmentation between systems while providing a common framework for product delivery and operational control.

A broad omnichannel deployment

At the centre of the launch is EveryMatrix's turnkey omnichannel technology. The provider describes its omnichannel approach as a unified environment that can connect retail, online and mobile activity while supporting shared player wallets, cross-channel engagement and centralised back-office control.

For Merkur Bets, the Danish deployment includes more than 1,000 sports betting terminals located within a retail estate of more than 230 shops. The same technology environment also supports the online sportsbook and online casino. EveryMatrix has described the project as a complex omnichannel deployment because the technology must work across different channels while accounting for market-specific operational and regulatory requirements.

This retail component is particularly relevant for a group with an established physical presence. Betting terminals must operate reliably in shop environments while remaining connected to wider product and operational functions. A unified platform can make those connections easier to manage without requiring every customer interaction to move online.

The next phase across Europe

The Danish launch is positioned as the first stage in a wider multi-territory programme. EveryMatrix said further Merkur brands in Austria, Germany and Belgium are expected to migrate to its turnkey platform technology. The stated objective is to create a shared technology foundation that can support consistency, scalability and operational synergies across the group's European footprint.

The comments from both companies also indicate that the Danish deployment should be treated as an initial completed stage rather than the end of the programme. No specific timetable for each additional market was provided in the announcement, so the next launches remain future steps subject to the companies' implementation plans.

Leadership comments on the launch

Jonas Groes, Co-CEO, EveryMatrix, said: “This is a significant milestone for EveryMatrix and our partnership with Merkur Group. Bringing its retail estate, online sportsbook and casino together on our technology in Denmark is a complex omnichannel deployment and successfully going live across more than 1,000 betting terminals and 230 shops demonstrates the scale and flexibility of our platform.

“Importantly, this is only the beginning. With further Merkur brands and markets set to migrate to EveryMatrix, we are building a technology foundation that can deliver consistency, scalability and operational synergies across the group’s European footprint. We’re proud of the trust Merkur has placed in us and excited to build on this momentum with the launches ahead.”

Mathias Dahms, Managing Director, Sports betting, Merkur Group, said: “Going live with EveryMatrix in Denmark is an important step in our strategy to create a consistent product and technology foundation across our European markets.

“This successful launch gives us confidence as we move towards further brand migrations across Europe. We look forward to building on what we have achieved together with EveryMatrix and delivering an increasingly connected experience for our customers. Together with EveryMatrix, Merkur is now ready for future growth and expansion.”

The remarks place the emphasis on technology integration, consistency and future expansion. They also avoid setting out specific commercial outcomes, which means the longer-term effect of the rollout will need to be assessed as the platform operates at scale and further markets progress.

Regulatory context in Denmark

The Danish operation sits within a defined national regulatory framework. The Danish Gambling Authority is responsible for licensing and supervising betting and online casino operators in Denmark. Its current public register lists Merkur Bets Malta Limited for betting and online casino and includes merkurbets.dk among the associated domains.

The platform migration should therefore be understood as a technology and operational development rather than a replacement for regulatory responsibilities. Applicable requirements continue to cover areas such as player protection, responsible gambling and compliance with Danish gambling legislation. The Danish Gambling Authority publishes dedicated guidance covering responsible gambling for betting and online casino operators.

Why the launch matters

From a technology perspective, the Merkur Bets launch illustrates the importance of omnichannel infrastructure for established betting groups. A retail network of this size creates different technical demands from a digital-only sportsbook. Terminals, shop operations, online accounts and back-office functions must operate within a coherent framework.

For EveryMatrix, the project strengthens its record of supplying turnkey technology to regulated operators. For Merkur Group, the Danish deployment provides the first completed reference point for the broader migration strategy announced by the companies. Any assessment of its commercial effect will depend on future operating performance and on how the planned launches progress across other markets.

Conclusion

The Merkur Bets launch in Denmark marks a concrete technology milestone for both Merkur Group and EveryMatrix. The deployment connects a sizeable retail betting estate with an online sportsbook and online casino under a single omnichannel technology environment, while the rebranding from Cashpoint gives the operation a more unified market identity.

Its wider significance will become clearer as further Merkur brands are migrated. For now, the Danish rollout establishes the first completed step in a multi-market programme intended to create greater technology consistency across Europe. It also highlights the practical challenge of combining retail and digital services in regulated gambling markets where platform integration must operate alongside local compliance requirements.
