In connection with a follow-up inspection, the Swedish Gambling Authority ( Spelinspektionen ) ( has once again identified shortcomings in Kindred Group’s Spooniker Ltd’s work with customer due diligence.

The company has not collected sufficient information about where the money comes from. Therefore, they have not been able to determine whether the customers’ activities were legitimate or whether they posed a risk of money laundering or terrorist financing. Spooniker Ltd is therefore being issued a warning and a sanction fee of SEK 10 million.

On 1 June 2024, the calculation bases in the Gambling Act for sanction fees for violations of the money laundering regulations were changed. The violations in the case occurred before the amendment to the Gambling Act, which is why the new calculation basis should not be applied. The sanction fee can therefore be set at a maximum amount equivalent to one million euros.

Spooniker Ltd is licensed for commercial online gaming and betting on the websites bingo.se, mariabingo.se, mariacasino.se, ottocasino.se, se.bingo.com, storspelare.se and unibet.se
