Gross gaming revenue (GGR) from licensed gambling operators active in Sweden amounted to SEK6.70bn ($603.9m) in the second quarter, down slightly year-on-year.

The quarterly total for the three months to 30 June was 1.0% lower than GGR of SEK6.77bn in Q2 last year. However, the figure, a preliminary total published by Sweden gambling regulator Spelinspektionen, was up 1.8% from SEK6.58bn in Q1 of 2023.

Breaking down the performance, commercial online gambling and sports betting drew the most GGR. This sector, which includes online casino, contributed SEK4.18bn, down 3.2% year-on-year.

GGR from state-owned lottery and slot games reached SEK1.40bn, which was 1.6% behind the SEK1.42bn in 2022.
