Sweden's Spelinspektionen has imposed an immediate ban on an offshore gambling platform following continued social media marketing. The regulator said the decision was intended to protect consumers because the platform offered services in Sweden without a local licence.
Spelinspektionen said the company behind the brand had not indicated that it would remove Swedish-language content. The company had reportedly not provided concrete information on blocking Swedish IP addresses or other measures to prevent access from the country through alternative routes.
