Up to 72% of Swedish gamblers are unaware which products are licensed versus illegal, according to a recent Spelinspektionen survey.
In a survey conducted in April by Enkätfabriken on behalf of Swedish gambling regulator Spelinspektionen, 72% of respondents said they could not tell which products were licensed versus unlicensed in the market.
However, when asked what an important factor was when choosing a gambling operator, 42% said that holding a local license was important, up from 28% in the previous year’s survey.
When asked if they thought playing with a licensed operator would benefit the player, the survey was split, with 47% saying yes and 47% saying they don’t know. The other 6% said there was no advantage.
