A decision to uphold penalty fees given to Betsson, Snabbare and Spooniker was announced today by Spelinspektionen, who announced that the Administrative Court agreed with its view that the companies “committed serious violations of the money laundering regulations through insufficient customer due diligence measures”.
All penalty fees were handed out back in May 2025 for anti-money laundering (AML) failings.
Betsson was issued with a warning as well as a SEK6.5 million (£502k) fine.
Spelinspektionen selected customers to review based on a list of the 50 customers aged 18-29 who made the largest total deposits between 1 January-31 December 2023.
It found that the operators had failed to adequately identify the source of income for large deposits that could not be justified by the consumers’ taxable income.
