LeoVegas Group has strengthened its market position in Sweden, acquiring a sports betting licence for its proprietary brand GoGoCasino.

Regulated by Spelinspektionen, the Swedish gambling authority, the new vertical will be powered by Tiger, the LeoVegas proprietary sportsbook platform which makes its debut on Swedish ground.

Tiger was acquired from German operator Tipico back in 2024 through a deal facilitated by MGM Resorts International, the parent of LeoVegas Group. This was when Tipico wound down its US operations, which led to the DACH leader selling off its product and technology platform, including its online casino and Tiger sportsbook, to LeoVegas.

Prior to the Spelinspektionen licence, Tiger had been successfully rolled out across other key European jurisdictions such as Denmark and the Netherlands, with LeoVegas continuing to invest heavily into the sportsbook under MGM’s management.
