Spelinspektionen reports Q1 2026 action against illegal gambling in Sweden
Sweden’s Spelinspektionen said it stepped up enforcement against unlicensed gambling in the first quarter of 2026, issuing prohibition orders and pursuing cases involving illegal advertising. Administrative courts upheld the authority’s measures in two advertising cases. The regulator also completed a government assignment on how unlicensed online operators could prevent people in Sweden from gambling.
