The Swedish Gaming Authority, Spelinspektionen, has issued four ComeOn-owned brands with warnings and penalty fees for, among other things, unauthorised bonus offers.

Casinostugan was given a warning and penalty fee of SEK25m (£2.16m/€2.49m/$3.00m). ComeOn Sweden received a SEK35m penalty fee in addition to its warning, while Hajper Ltd was issued with a warning and sanction fee of SEK50m. Snabbare Ltd paid the largest fee of SEK65m in addition to its warning.

Reviews of a sample customer’s account found that Casinstugan had issued a player with a total SEK21,000 in bonus funds, in addition to free spins for online slots.

ComeOn was also found to have deposited a total of SEK40,000 to a sample player in bonus funds.
