Spelinspektionen bans WinBet from targeting Swedish players

Enforcement & compliance

Sweden’s Spelinspektionen has prohibited WinBet from offering online gambling to Swedish players through Superb.bet, after finding that the site targeted users in Sweden. The regulator said the site appeared automatically in Swedish for visitors with Swedish IP addresses and allowed them to register; WinBet did not comment on the findings.

The ban requires WinBet to stop the conduct the regulator identified as unlicensed targeting of Swedish players.
