The Swedish Gambling Inspectorate has received its regulatory framework for 2025, outlining key operational objectives and financial allocations.
The authority has been granted a budget of 97.9m SEK ($8.9m), with monthly disbursements of 8.16m SEK throughout the year.
These financial provisions aim to ensure the authority has the resources necessary to meet its objectives and uphold its regulatory mandate.
Among the key requirements outlined in the regulation letter is the need to report on the effectiveness of supervisory activities. The authority will detail the number of inspections conducted across different sub-markets and assess the impact of these efforts.
Additionally, it will provide an overview of its match-fixing prevention platform, including the number of reports of suspicious activity received during the year.
Good to know: In addition to the core budget, the authority has been granted a loan framework of SEK 10m for operational investments and SEK 6m in interest account credit
The framework also includes ongoing assignments to survey youth gambling and develop supervision of both licensed and unlicensed gambling activities.
Beyond this, the authority is tasked with delivering forecasts for the period 2025–2028 on four occasions. These forecasts will outline assumptions, identify uncertainties and explain any deviations from planned activities.
Specific assignments include a survey on youth gambling, scheduled for submission by 31 January 2025, and the development of strategies to improve supervision and tackle unlicensed gambling and match-fixing, with findings due by 31 March 2025.
