Two Swedish gambling organizations are clashing publicly over suggested restrictions on the gambling market.
The Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling (BOS) and the government-owned gambling company Svenska Spel are publicly clashing over suggested plans for restrictions on the gambling market in Sweden. The two organizations have both published op-eds in the country’s largest business newspapers outlining their views.
On the one hand, Svenska Spel advocates for a proposal that would classify games according to risk. High-risk games would then be subject to special restrictions on a number of topics, including marketing.
“Our proposals show that there is an opportunity to turn the tide in order to protect the regulated market and consumer protection if the gaming industry, relevant authorities and legislators act together,” wrote Anna Johnson, President and CEO of Svenska Spel in her signed op-ed.
