Sweden keeps changing to attract international operators

Sweden keeps changing to attract international operators

The provision of gambling services in Sweden is mostly controlled by the local monopoly – Svenska Spel. However, it has been for years now that international operators have been providing their online gaming and betting products to local gambling customers. Despite operating without a license, it cannot be said that they have done so illegally, as a significant amount of legal fuzziness currently reigns over the country’s gambling landscape.

However, the legal status quo is about to change as a probe into the state of Sweden’s gambling industry recommended the removal of the current monopoly system and the introduction of one that would allow interested international operators to apply for a license from Lotteriinspektionen and service Swedish players in a regulated iGaming environment.

The new regulatory regime may take effect from January 1, 2019, according to initial forecasts. It is believed that 90% of all Swedish online bettors and casino players will opt for regulated operations, turning their back on black market operators. The other 10% will be in danger of being preyed upon by black market operators that will try their best to draw clientele, without applying for licenses and thus spare themselves from taxes and other responsibilities that come with operations in regulated jurisdictions.

“Online gaming and betting will not be the only services the new laws will focus on. As announced earlier this year, those will also encompass land-based and cruise ship casinos, lottery, betting, and more”

 

Once the new regulations come into effect, all licensed operators will be taxed at 18% on their gross revenue from Swedish players. It can be said that the tax rate is a reasonable one, particularly when compared to that of other recently regulated European countries, including Poland, which taxes operators on turnover, and the Czech Republic, which imposed a 35% tax on gross revenue.
