Personal and contact information

Compensation
You are compensated for your time
After you complete the application process, you can begin to donate. At European Sperm Bank, you are compensated up to 500 DKK for every approved donation (including a PureGym membership, compensation for blood samples, health check, and bonus), to cover any out-of-pocket expenses.
You can get compensated up to 6,000 DKK every month (inclusive bonus, blood samples, etc).
There must be 48 hours between ejaculations, which means you may donate up to 3 times a week.
We expect you to donate at least once a week. When you donate sperm regularly, with several donations a week, you also have the opportunity to receive extra compensation every third month.
The payment you receive for each donation cannot be considered a salary, as it is not allowed for sperm donors to earn money from their donations. It is therefore only a compensation for your inconvenience and potential transport.
Sperm deposit
Free sperm deposit - Think about your future
When you stop as an active donor and have donated regularly, cf. the contract for min. of 1 year, we offer you a free 5-year sperm deposit (list price DKK 10,100). A sample of your semen is frozen and stored for your own convenience. In this way you secure yourself against e.g. decreased sperm quality or later loss of fertility.

At European Sperm Bank, you can only become an ID release donor (previously known as an ‘open donor’). As an ID release donor, we may share personally identifiable information about you with individuals conceived with your sperm if they request it. The specific age at which this can happen depends on the country’s legislation, but it typically occurs when the person turns 16 or 18.
Of all sperm banks, we have the most donor locations in Copenhagen. You can donate in one of our Copenhagen departments (København N, København K, Islands Brygge), in Lyngby, Aarhus and Aalborg.
We ask you to donate at least four times per month.
Once you have been accepted as a donor, you’ll get DKK 300 per approved donation. For each approved donation, 200 DKK will be transferred to your bank account once a week and the remaining 100 DKK is paid out roughly once every three months; this is dependent on your routine blood and urine tests showing that you have no sexually transmitted diseases.
On top of these amounts, you also get financial compensation for all your blood tests. The compensation is regulated by law.
If you’ve not had any sexually transmitted diseases for a whole year and have donated frequently, you’ll be eligible to receive an average of 6,000 DKK per month in compensation. This includes a free Fitness World membership (worth 300 DKK per month), which is activated as soon as you qualify.
