AB Trav och Galopp (ATG), the operating company of Swedish licensed horse racing and trotting venues, has confirmed that it will no longer accept customer registrations from foreign/non-nationals.

Following 2019’s implementation of new rules applied by Swedish gambling’s new regulatory regime, ATG venues have been forced to register all players wagering at its venues.

In the wake of an internal review, ATG management has chosen to no longer accept foreign player registrations citing that legal requirements had led to ‘cumbersome outcomes’ as venue teams were required to undertake significant administrative tasks registering foreign players and allocating their winnings.

As a result, customers who are not registered on Sweden’s national ID registry systems will no longer be allowed to wager on ATG tracks or games.
