Swedish Online Casinos Operate Without National Licence, Bypass Spelpaus

Two recent pieces describe online gambling platforms that cater to Swedish players despite lacking a Swedish personal licence. The sites advertise large bonus programmes, a wide range of slot titles and live‑dealer games, and they accept payment methods such as credit cards, e‑wallets and cryptocurrencies.

Because they are not issued a Swedish licence, these operators are not part of the national self‑exclusion system (Spelpaus) and instead rely on licences from jurisdictions such as Curacao. They nevertheless provide Swedish‑language support, local currency options and marketing that targets Swedish customers, raising questions about player protection and regulatory oversight.
