The Swedish government has appointed an investigator to lead a review of the country’s Gambling Act to enforce tougher policies against illegal operators.
The Gambling Act review was announced on Thursday (20 February) and cannot run beyond 17 September 2025. Marcus Isgren, chairman and head of the Swedish Board of Consumer Complaints, has been appointed as the investigator.
In its investigation, the government will consider measures that could make it tougher for illegal sites to operate in Sweden.
“We will do this by amending the Gambling Act so that it becomes more appropriate. This is one of the single most important measures for a safer and healthier gambling market,” minister for financial markets Niklas Wykman said in a statement.
