Swedish administrative court overturns Svenska Spel’s SEK100m penalty
The Administrative Court in Linköping upheld Svenska Spel’s appeal on 2 June, overturning the Swedish Gambling Authority’s 2024 warning and SEK100 million penalty, according to the report. The court said the rules did not specify clearly enough which duty-of-care measures licensees had to take or when; Svenska Spel had argued that it monitored customer behaviour and took steps to reduce gambling harm.
Licensees and regulators face uncertainty about which duty-of-care measures are required and when.
