Swedish Court of Appeal rejects regulator’s case against Zimpler injunction
Sweden’s Court of Appeal rejected the Swedish Gambling Authority’s appeal on 7 February, upholding a lower court ruling that the regulator lacked grounds to enjoin Zimpler. The court said the Gambling Act was unclear about how to determine whether an operator targets Sweden and found that the authority had not shown illegal gambling or Zimpler’s promotion of it.
The ruling limits the regulator’s basis for ordering payment providers to stop serving unlicensed operators in Sweden.
