Background & Purpose

An audit showed that Sweden's gambling market supervision has not been effective enough since the market was re-regulated in 2019, leading to too few inspections and unaddressed shortcomings.

The Decision

The Swedish parliament acknowledged the government's report and formally closed the matter without introducing any new laws.

In Practice

  • The Swedish parliament formally closes the oversight report without new legislative measures.
  • The government continues its ongoing work to strengthen the conditions for gambling supervision.
  • An expert assists the Ministry of Finance in reviewing the legal scope of gambling regulations.
