Spelinspektionen fines five organisations SEK4m over lottery sales

Enforcement & compliance

Sweden’s Spelinspektionen fined three Social Democratic organisations SEK3m and two cancer associations SEK1m over failures to supervise lottery telemarketing, the regulator said. Its investigations found that subcontractors used aggressive or misleading sales practices and that the licensees lacked adequate control over their agents. The sanctions concerned the Kombilotteriet and Datumlotteriet lotteries.

The fines show that lottery licensees can be held responsible for sales practices carried out by subcontractors.
