Total gambling revenue in Sweden increased 1.9% year-on-year during the second quarter of 2025, while regulator Spelinspektionen has confirmed Camilla Rosenberg is to step down as its director general.

Revenue for the three months to the end of June amounted to SEK7.02 billion ($744 million). This edged ahead of Q1 last year and was 5.9% above Q1 this year, according to figures from the regulator.

Commercial online gaming, covering areas such as internet-based casino and sports betting, drew the most revenue. In total, revenue from online gaming topped SEK4.63 billion, a year-on-year rise of 1.4%.

The increase in online gaming revenue came despite the sports betting market having been impacted by a tough comparable period in 2024.
