The proportion of Swedish gambling consumers who gamble at unregulated online sites is increasing, while the proportion playing safely within the Swedish licensing system is declining, according to the findings of a report commissioned by the Swedish Agency for Public Management. The Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling, BOS, claims that public control over gambling is under serious threat and the government is failing its duty to offer gamblers full consumer protection.

The claims are in response to the publication of the Swedish agency’s publication of its fourth report on the Swedish gambling market since re-regulation in 2019.
