Sweden’s gambling regulator has penalized two online licensees for “repeated” violations of rules surrounding customer bonus offers.

On Thursday, the Spelinspektionen regulatory body issued warnings and financial penalties against Betway Ltd and Mandalorian Technologies Ltd. The two companies were found to have engaged in “serious” and “repeated” violations of Sweden’s rules regarding bonus offers, which can only be offered to first-time customers.

Betway, which operates in Sweden under the Betway.se domain, was penalized SEK5m (US$520k), while Mandalorian, which holds local licenses for noaccountcasino.com and prankcasino.com, was fined SEK9m ($935k). The companies have been given three weeks in which to decide whether to appeal their penalties.

Spelinspektionen noted that it had observed “some compliance” from the two licensees but emphasized that “further measures must be taken to achieve full compliance” with the stated rules.
