Global Gaming loses latest appeal of Swedish license revocation

Online gambling operator Global Gaming has once again been denied the right to resume its Swedish-facing online casino after its license was revoked this summer.

In June, Sweden’s Spelinspektionen gambling regulatory body revoked the license held by Global Gaming 555 AB’s subsidiary SafeEnt Ltd, which operated the Swedish-facing Ninja Casino site. The revocation was prompted by what Spelinspektionen deemed to be the site’s insufficiently vigorous anti-money laundering and social responsibility practices.

On Tuesday, Global Gaming announced that Sweden’s Supreme Administrative Court had rejected its appeal of SafeEnt’s license revocation, without offering any details on the reasoning behind the Court’s decision.

Global Gaming CEO Tobias Fagerlund said the company was “disappointed” but was “now examining the decision in detail and I assume that we will appeal this decision to the Administrative Court of Appeal.”
