Sweden has financially penalized another online gambling licensee for offering live casino games not covered under its license.
On Wednesday, Sweden’s Spelinspektionen regulatory body announced that it had imposed a SEK400k (US$41,700) on Glitnor Services Ltd, which operates in Sweden via seven domains, including fridacasino.com and luckycasino.com.
The regulator found fault with LuckyCasino offering several products from live casino technology specialists Evolution Gaming, including its Dream Catcher, Monopoly Live and Deal or No Deal titles. Spelinspektionen noted that these products aren’t covered by Glitnor’s local online casino and sports betting license.
The regulator found that the products in question relied on a combination of spinning wheels and symbols rather than slots reels, taking them outside the traditional definition of random number generator games and more like lottery games, which “may only be offered for non-profit purposes.”
