On June 18, 2026, Spelinspektionen (Sweden's Gambling Inspectorate) launched a consultation on proposed new regulations governing technical requirements for gambling operations. The new regulations will consolidate and replace two existing regulations: SIFS 2022:3 concerning technical requirements and accreditation of bodies for inspection, testing, and certification of gambling activities, and LIFS 2018:10 concerning technical requirements for gaming machines and automated casino games. The proposed regulations aim to modernise and streamline Sweden's technical framework for gambling operators. The new rules will establish unified technical standards applicable across different gambling formats, including land-based gaming machines, automated casino games, and related certification and accreditation procedures. The consolidation of the two existing regulations into a single framework is intended to reduce regulatory complexity and create clearer compliance pathways for operators and certification bodies. The consultation period closes on August 10, 2026. Stakeholders, including gambling operators, certification bodies, and other interested parties, are invited to submit comments on the proposed regulations. Responses should be sent to registrator@spelinspektionen.se in Word format, with reference to docket number 25Si946. Spelinspektionen has published both the proposed regulations and a consequence analysis document to support the consultation process. REFERENCES: Spelinspektionen.
