Sweden licenses commercial online gaming and betting through Spelinspektionen. A complete public register response for these two categories on 2 October 2026 contained 79 licence holders, 194 URL strings and 190 domains after normalising www variants. The ten Atlas relationships were checked on that date against holder licence objects or register-specific absence. Betsson’s betting-only Nordic entity and the separate Spin Nordic online/betting permissions remain distinct. Broader policy sources were reviewed on 9 October 2026; the register snapshot retains its 2 October date.

Key date:
Since 1 August 2026, licensees required to register players must use their assigned credentials for Spelpaus checks, including checks performed by a contractor. Direct-marketing checks use the marketing APIs; registration and login checks use the login API. A check is complete only when it returns whether the person is self-excluded.

Gambling marketing must be moderate, may promote only Swedish-licensed gambling and must not target people under 18 or directly target anyone who has self-excluded.
Spelinspektionen marketing guidanceExpanded prohibition on credit-funded play
Key date:
Since 1 May 2026, licensees and gambling agents must not allow or facilitate credit-funded gambling and must take appropriate preventive measures. Online operators must block credit cards and address credit-funded e-wallet payments. The regulator does not require an investigation of every payment, but known credit-funded stakes must be refused. Limited exemptions may apply to public-benefit lotteries.
