1594 charsSweden's Gambling Inspectorate Issues Remarks and Warnings to State and Non-Profit Lottery Licence Holders
On August 20, 2026, Sweden's Gambling Inspectorate (Spelinspektionen) concluded supervisory proceedings against five lottery licence holders operating physical lotteries, finding deficiencies in lottery ticket information and compliance with technical requirements.
In February 2026, the Gambling Inspectorate initiated supervision of six licence holders operating physical lotteries with prize values exceeding one price base amount. The inspectorate examined licence holders' compliance with technical requirements under the Gambling Act (Spellagens), fixed prize plan requirements under the Gambling Ordinance (Spelförordningen), and information requirements for physical lottery tickets under Chapter 8, Sections 1-2 of the Gambling Inspectorate's Regulations (LIFS 2018:4).
The Gambling Inspectorate issued the following enforcement actions: AB Svenska Spel received a remark; Movendi Sverige received a remark; Psoriasisförbundet received a remark; Tranås AIF Ishockeyförening received a warning with a sanction fee; and Vänersborgs Hockey Club received a warning with a sanction fee. All supervisory decisions are available in the Gambling Inspectorate's decision register. One licence holder's case remains pending. The enforcement actions address identified gaps in lottery ticket labelling and adherence to technical standards applicable to state-operated and non-profit lottery operators. These supervisory findings reflect the Gambling Inspectorate's continued focus on ensuring compliance with lottery regulations among all licence holders operating physical lotteries in Sweden.
