Sweden’s gambling regulator has slapped another six-figure penalty on an online gambling licensee for self-exclusion failures.

On Tuesday, Sweden’s Spelinspektionen regulatory body announced that it had imposed a SEK3m (US$321k) financial penalty on AG Communications Ltd, a subsidiary of Aspire Global, for allowing self-excluded gamblers to access gambling products via its 13 Swedish-licensed sites, including its main site Karamba.com.

In January, Spelinspektionen announced it was probing AG Communications and fellow online licensee Genesis Global Ltd after receiving reports that individuals who’d signed up for the Spelpaus online self-exclusion registry were still able to access the licensees’ gambling products.

Under Sweden’s new regulated online gambling market, all licensees are required to connect their services to the Spelpaus system, which not only allows gamblers to bar themselves from accessing Swedish-licensed gambling sites but also ensures they don’t receive marketing come-ons from Swedish operators.
