On June 16, 2026, the Swedish Gambling Authority (Spelinspektionen) launched a consultation on proposed new regulations governing responsible gambling practices. The new regulations will replace the Lottery Inspectorate's Regulations and General Advice (LIFS 2018:2) on responsible gambling, which have been in effect since 2018. Spelinspektionen identified a need to develop updated regulations to strengthen responsible gambling frameworks in Sweden. The proposed regulations represent a comprehensive revision of the existing responsible gambling requirements that currently apply to gambling operators and service providers in the Swedish market. The authority has prepared both the proposed regulations and a detailed impact assessment (konsekvensutredning) to support the consultation process. The consultation invites stakeholders, including gambling operators, industry associations, consumer protection organisations, and other interested parties, to submit comments on the proposed framework. Responses should be submitted in Word format to registrator@spelinspektionen.se, with the reference number 21Si540. The consultation period closes on August 10, 2026. Both the proposed regulations and the accompanying impact assessment are available on the Spelinspektionen website for review.
