On 18 August 2025, Spelinspektionen, the Swedish gaming regulator, took regulatory action and formally banned two foreign providers: Rabocse SRL and Solid Software Solutions SRL. Their offence? Offering their products in Sweden without the required licence – a direct violation of consumer protection laws.
A clear, consistent strategy, executed without delay
According to Spelinspektionen, the two entities distributed their gaming products to Swedish consumers… without a licence. Both providers were ordered to immediately cease all activity targeting the Swedish market. This stance is not isolated: on several occasions, operators such as Goodwin NV and WinBet NV have been banned after targeting Swedish customers without a licence.
A reminder of the legal fundamentals in Sweden
In Sweden, as with any strict regulation, offering unlicensed games is a violation of Chapter 3, Section 3 of the Gambling Act of 2018. No compromise can be accepted on this point. This text guarantees player safety, prevention against money laundering, and the integrity of the authorised market.
The invisible side effect of these sanctions is the consolidation of confidence in the legal market. By banning unauthorised providers, regulators not only protect players from dubious practices or the absence of security procedures, but also reinforce the legitimacy of compliant platforms.
Towards an ever more secure Sweden?
Through this new regulatory act, Sweden is demonstrating its commitment to maintaining a transparent, safe and responsible online gaming market. Immediately banning unlicensed operators reinforces the proactive stance of Nordic regulation in a globalised digital landscape.
By pushing this line, Spelinspektionen is not just imposing sanctions: it is sending a strong message that consumer protection and legal compliance are non-negotiable.
