Swedish Gaming Authority Issues Notices to Tombola, Multi Brand Gaming, and More Tech Group for Website Violations
The Swedish Gaming Authority, known as Spelinspektionen, issued a formal notice to bingo operator Tombola for breaching the agency’s rules regarding website content.
Spelinspektionen declared that Tombola failed to provide information on deposit limits, self-exclusion options, and game time measurement on its desktop and mobile platforms, thus contravening Article 17 of the Spelinspektionen regulations.
Tombola cooperated fully and rectified the violation by adding all required details to its website.
Spelinspektionen categorized the violation as not serious, but “neither minor nor excusable.”
On the previous day, Spelinspektionen also issued similar warnings to licensed enterprises Multi Brand Gaming and More Tech Group for violating Article 17.
More Tech Group received an additional warning for breaching Articles 7 and 8 of the Spelinspektionen regulations because the company did not display contact information on its website.
An investigation conducted by Spelinspektionen yesterday also revealed that the number of players in the nation using unauthorized gaming websites has risen. The investigation also uncovered that players who engage in gambling on unlicensed websites are more likely to acknowledge that their gaming activity has escalated during the coronavirus pandemic.
