Spelinspektionen appeals court decision quashing €9.1m Svenska Spel fine
Sweden’s Spelinspektionen said it will appeal the Administrative Court’s decision to quash a €9.1m fine against Svenska Spel. The regulator issued the penalty in March 2024 over alleged failures in the operator’s duty of care; the court found the regulator had not established grounds for intervention, although it agreed customers examined had gambled excessively.
The appeal could affect how the duty-of-care requirements are applied to gambling operators in Sweden.
