BOS urges Swedish gambling regulator to rethink ‘heavy-handed’ AML approach

Spelinspektionen, the government agency that regulates and supervises gambling in Sweden, adopts a more sanction‑heavy stance in its regulatory oversight, particularly in anti‑money‑laundering (AML) supervision compared to other Swedish regulators, according to a new report. The report was commissioned by the Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling (BOS) and authored by law firm Nordic Legal. It reveals significant differences in supervisory approaches taken by the Spelinspektionen compared to other Swedish regulators with similar mandates.
