Swedish finance ministry proposes wider ban on gambling with credit
Sweden’s Ministry of Finance submitted a bill on 12 June 2025 to extend restrictions on gambling with credit. If adopted, the rules would bar operators from enabling credit agreements for game purchases, accepting bets they know are credit-funded, and taking credit-card payments when their nature is clear; the proposed start date is 1 April 2026.
Operators in Sweden could face new restrictions on credit-funded bets and credit-card payments if the bill passes.
