Overview

Spelinspektionen's directory lists licence holders, licence types, valid dates and approved web addresses. Check the exact domain because a familiar brand can use different companies or sites in different markets.

  • Legal entity.
  • Licence details.
  • 18+ notice.
  • Spelpaus information.

Checklist before signing up

Match four items before registration: web address, licence holder, commercial online-gambling permission and validity period. A Swedish translation, BankID logo or SEK cashier is not enough on its own.

  • Who operates the site?
  • Which licence or local approval applies?
  • Which payment methods are available?
  • What happens before the first withdrawal?

Safety and responsible gambling

Swedish licence holders must provide player registration, age and identity controls, deposit limits, duty-of-care measures and connection to Spelpaus for registered gambling.

Regulatory action should be read alongside current licence status. A valid licence does not erase warnings or sanctions, and an old enforcement notice does not by itself prove that a current licence has ended.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I verify a Swedish casino licence?

Use Spelinspektionen's licence and permit directory and search the exact website address.
