Spelinspektionen orders Novatech to stop unlicensed gambling in Sweden
Sweden’s Spelinspektionen ordered Novatech to halt gambling services in the country, finding that its websites targeted Swedish players without a local licence. The regulator’s investigation examined several domains and found that users in Sweden could begin account registration. The source also reports a separate €24.9m penalty imposed on Novatech by the Dutch regulator earlier that week.
The order requires Novatech to stop serving Swedish players unless it obtains the required local licence.
