Spelinspektionen appeals ruling overturning SEK100m Svenska Spel fine

Enforcement & compliance

Sweden's Spelinspektionen said on 18 June it would appeal a court ruling that overturned a SEK100m fine and warning against Svenska Spel. The regulator had imposed the sanction over its assessment of the company's player-protection measures from October to December 2021; the court found the legal requirements insufficiently clear, while Svenska Spel argued it had monitored customers and intervened appropriately.

The appeal will test the legal basis for Svenska Spel's player-protection obligations and the regulator's sanction.
