The Swedish Ministry of Finance has submitted a bill to parliament that would prohibit licensees and gaming agents from allowing or contributing to gambling being financed with credit. Under the proposals, operators would be required to take appropriate measures to prevent credit-financed gambling across all forms of licensed gaming, regardless of how the game is provided.
The regulation represents an extension of Sweden’s current credit ban, which prevents licensees and gaming agents from offering or providing credit for gambling.
The Ministry of Finance said: “The purpose of the new regulation is to prevent indebtedness due to gambling for money.”
The bill would apply to all operators holding Swedish licenses.
