Betsson has received a warning from Swedish regulator Spelinspektionen after it offered bets on rule violations, which are prohibited in Sweden under a set of anti-match-fixing regulations that came into force last year.
On 25 May 2021, Spelinspektionen received a tip that Betsson had offered betting related to rule violations for a football match between Malmö FF and Elfsborg in Sweden’s top league, the Allsvenskan. The regulator did not mention what kind of rule violations could be bet on.
Under a set of regulations introduced in 2020 and designed to reduce match-fixing, Swedish operators may not offer bets on any rule violations, including yellow cards or penalties in football.
