Gambling companies with a Swedish license must not offer betting on events or events where the majority of participants are under 18 years of age.

The Swedish Gaming Inspectorate ( Spelinspektionen ) has found that a number of licensees violated the legislation in this respect.

According to the Gaming Inspectorate’s assessment, the provision of betting on events or events where predominantly players are under the age of 18 is a direct danger to minors being exposed to the influence of manipulating results, which in turn leads to negative consequences of gambling.

In connection with the gaming inspection, the gaming companies have taken various measures to ensure that future betting takes place according to the game law, for example by not offering games on U19 and U21 series.

Spelinspektionen is working on producing regulations on any prohibitions or restrictions on games or events in competitions, or other measures to combat manipulation of results in sports. The regulations are expected to enter into force at the beginning of next year.
