Local betting landscape

Sweden opened a licensed market on 1 January 2019. Spelinspektionen licenses betting and casino, runs the Spelpaus self-exclusion register, and enforces a bonus limit of one welcome offer per customer. Affiliates operate under the same 'moderation' duty as operators.

Sweden’s Gambling Act replaced the Svenska Spel monopoly for betting and online casino with licensing on 1 January 2019. State companies keep land-based casinos and the main lotteries.

Licensed online betting and casino. Unlicensed operators are blocked from payments and prohibited from advertising.

Rules that matter to players

Minimum age 18. Spelpaus, the national self-exclusion register, applies to every licensee. Operators may offer one bonus per customer at registration and no more. Deposit limits must be set before play.

Advertising and affiliates

Advertising must be “moderate”, a statutory standard Spelinspektionen and the consumer agency enforce. Affiliates are permitted but the operator is responsible for their compliance, and licensed operators may only work with affiliates that promote licensed operators.

Tax

Operators pay 22 per cent of gross gaming revenue (raised from 18 per cent in 2024). Winnings from licensed operators are tax-free.
