L&L Europe fined by Spelinspektionen

Reading time: 3 minutes The Swedish Gaming Authority, Spelinspektionen, has imposed an administrative fine of SEK 80,000 (approximately €7,500) on L&L Europe Limited for breaches of its information obligations on several online gaming platforms.
Meticulous supervision of online platforms
Spelinspektionen initiated a routine review of the compliance of the sites operated by L&L Europe Limited with Swedish player information requirements. The aim was to check whether the operator was complying with the obligations set out in the Swedish regulations on online gaming aimed at guaranteeing transparency and consumer protection.
The investigation targeted six online gaming domains managed by L&L Europe – CasinoCasino, FunCasino, HyperCasino NoBonusCasino, RaceCasino and YetiCasino – which are accessible to the Swedish public. Through this analysis, the authorities found that certain basic information required by law was missing or misrepresented on these platforms.
The problem identified by the regulators concerned the absence of essential information intended to enlighten players and reinforce the responsibility of operators:
- Contact details such as telephone numbers and e-mail addresses were missing from the home pages of all the sites examined.
- Information on the validity period of licences and the identity of the supervisory authority (Spelinspektionen) was not displayed.
- Several sites did not present the risks associated with gambling, or did so inadequately.
- Finally, even if prevention icons (self-test, deposit limits, session times or voluntary exclusions) were displayed, they were not placed in a locked field as required by Swedish regulations.
Systematic deficiencies
The investigation revealed that these breaches were not isolated to a specific site, but occurred repeatedly across all the platforms examined. It was this systematic nature of the breaches that led Spelinspektionen to consider that the operator had not fully complied with its obligations, even though some missing information had been added after notification.
In view of these findings, the regulator concluded that a financial penalty was justified, together with a formal reprimand for L&L Europe Limited. The amount of the fine is proportionate to the size of the company, which has a reported 2024 net turnover of approximately SEK 12,801,317 (approximately €1.2 million).
Why do such requirements exist?
The Swedish regulatory regime for online gambling is based on a combination of information, transparency and player protection requirements. These rules are defined by the Swedish Gambling Act and related regulations such as LIFS 2018:5, which govern the behaviour of licensed operators and ensure that players have all the information they need to participate in an informed manner.
Displaying precise information about the licence, the operator’s contact details, the supervisory authorities and support for players is not a bureaucratic detail: it is a key element of the responsibility policy aimed at reducing the risk of problem gambling.
The penalty of SEK 80,000 is proportionate, but it is a stern reminder that regulatory rigour in Sweden is not weakening, and that operators must remain fully attentive to all requirements in order to continue to operate legally.
