A visitor from Denmark your casino can't accept
A casino that holds no a Danish licencecan't accept a registration from Denmark, so the visit would normally end there. With a country rule for Denmark, that visitor sees the Adboundary screen instead. It lists partner casinos that can accept them, and Adboundary has verified every partner's licence before it can receive traffic.
