BOS challenges Svenska Spel proposals for Sweden’s gambling market
BOS opposed proposals Svenska Spel submitted to Sweden’s Gambling Authority, arguing that tighter rules could weaken channelisation and disadvantage private operators. Svenska Spel’s report set out 18 proposals across youth protection, illegal casinos and game risk classification; it also cited regulated-market channelisation of 85%, below the government’s 90% target. BOS secretary general Gustaf Hoffstedt said additional restrictions could push players towards unlicensed sites.
The dispute concerns rules that could affect licensed operators’ competitiveness and channelisation in Sweden.
