Sweden's Spelinspektionen banned WinBet NV from providing games in Sweden without a local licence on 4 July 2025. The regulator said the operator's Superb.Bet site targeted Swedish players through Swedish-language content and transactions in kronor; WinBet did not respond to an opportunity to comment.
Operators targeting Swedish players must hold a local licence, and the ban bars WinBet from serving that market.
