Spelinspektionen seeks to restore SEK100m fine against Svenska Spel
Sweden’s Spelinspektionen is seeking to overturn an administrative court decision that set aside its SEK100 million fine against Svenska Spel. The regulator said the operator failed to protect high-spending customers showing signs of excessive gambling; Svenska Spel maintained that it met its responsible-gambling obligations, while the court found the regulator had not proved intervention was necessary.
The appeal will test whether the regulator can reinstate the fine over Svenska Spel’s handling of customers at risk of excessive gambling.
