Spelinspektionen proposes technical blocks on unlicensed gambling access in Sweden
Sweden’s Spelinspektionen presented the government with proposals to restrict residents’ access to online operators without a Swedish licence, as part of a review of the Gambling Act. Suggested measures include geoblocking, refusing registrations with Swedish details and blocking certain payments; the authority said contractual terms alone would not be sufficient without effective technical barriers.
If adopted, the proposals would require operators to strengthen technical controls against access by Swedish residents.
