Swedish Gambling Authority

Founded: 1995. The Swedish Gambling Authority (Spelinspektionen) is Sweden’s national regulator responsible for licensing and supervising all gambling activities in the country, including online casinos and sports betting. The authority enforces strict rules under the Swedish Gambling Act, ensuring that operators meet high standards for player protection, responsible gambling, data security and anti‑money laundering. Licensed operators must offer strong consumer safeguards such as mandatory self‑exclusion through Spelpaus and transparent gaming practices. With continuous oversight and a firm regulatory approach, the Swedish Gambling Authority maintains a safe, fair and well‑regulated gambling environment for players in Sweden.
