Swedish Gambling Authority

The Swedish Gambling Authority (Spelinspektionen) is the regulatory body in Sweden responsible for overseeing and regulating the gambling industry in the country. The authority was established in 2019 as part of a broader effort to modernize and regulate the Swedish gambling market, which had previously been largely unregulated.

The Swedish Gambling Authority is responsible for issuing licenses to gambling operators, monitoring their compliance with relevant laws and regulations, and enforcing penalties for any violations. This includes measures to prevent illegal activities such as money laundering and underage gambling.

One of the key objectives of the Swedish Gambling Authority is to create a safe and secure environment for players, and to ensure that all forms of gambling are conducted in a fair and responsible manner. To achieve this, the authority works closely with licensed operators to promote responsible gambling practices and to provide support to those who may be experiencing gambling-related problems.

In addition to its regulatory role, the Swedish Gambling Authority also conducts research into various aspects of the gambling industry, including player behavior and the economic impact of gambling. This research helps the authority to better understand the industry and to make informed decisions about how to regulate it in the best interests of players and the wider community.
