On January 1, 2019, a new Gambling Act (2018:1138) with a new licensing system came into force in Sweden, after being approved by the Riksdag (the Swedish parliament). The new Gambling Act opened the market for online gambling operators and is aimed at improving consumer protection, game security and giving transparency and opportunity to all markets. It also established a new regulatory body, Spelinspektionen (Swedish Gambling Authority), replacing the previous gambling authority (Loteriinspektionen).
Under the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Prevention) Act (SFS 2017:630), operators should ensure that employees receive ongoing AML training, to prevent their operations from being used for money laundering or terrorist financing.
