Sweden issues more online gambling licenses, new AML rules

Sweden’s gambling regulator continues to dole out new licenses as the calendar counts down to the launch of its liberalized online gambling market.

On Monday, Sweden’s gaming regulatory agency Lotteriinspektionen – soon to be known as Spelinspektionen – announced that four more companies had been granted new online gambling licenses, bringing the total number of new licensees to 31 ahead of the January 1 launch of the new liberalized market.

The latest crop of licensees includes Bayton Ltd, which has received online gaming approval for its JackpotCity, Ruby Fortune and Spin Casino brands. Dumarca Gaming, a subsidiary of UK operator Jackpotjoy Group, received online gaming approval for its Vera&John and Intercasino brands.

Genesis Global Ltd received online gaming approval for nine of its casino brands, while Enlabs AB received both online gaming and sports betting nods for six of its domains. Late last week, Lotteriinspektionen announced that L&L Europe Ltd had won online gaming approval for a host of affiliated brands.
