Live Casino in Sweden
Complete Guide for Swedish Players • 2026
Sweden has one of Europe's most regulated gambling markets. Only Spelinspektionen-licensed operators can offer services to Swedish players. Strong player protections include Spelpaus self-exclusion and strict bonus limitations.
Sweden's regulated market since January 2019 prioritizes responsible gambling with mandatory deposit limits, limited bonuses, and comprehensive self-exclusion. While these restrictions may feel limiting, Swedish players enjoy tax-free winnings and strong consumer protections at licensed operators.
Swedish Gambling Regulations
Spelinspektionen License Required
All online casinos targeting Swedish players must hold a license from Spelinspektionen (Swedish Gambling Authority). Operating without a license is illegal.
Spelpaus Self-Exclusion
Sweden's national self-exclusion register. Once registered, you're blocked from all licensed Swedish gambling sites for your chosen duration (1 month to indefinite).
One Welcome Bonus Per Casino
Swedish law restricts casinos to offering only one welcome bonus per player lifetime. No reload bonuses or multiple welcome offers allowed.
Tax-Free Winnings
Gambling winnings from Spelinspektionen-licensed operators are tax-free for Swedish players. Unlicensed gambling may have different tax implications.
Key Market Restrictions
Sweden's gambling regulations include specific restrictions that affect how you play:
Bonus Limitations
Only one welcome bonus per player per casino. No wagering bonuses, cashback offers disguised as bonuses, or free spins promotions after the initial welcome.
3-Second Spin Rule
Online slots must have at least 3 seconds between spins. This slows down play and reduces the risk of excessive gambling.
Deposit Limit Requirements
Players must set deposit limits during registration. Casinos cannot encourage players to remove or increase limits.
No Live Casino Restrictions
Unlike some markets, Sweden does not restrict live casino games. Full Evolution, Pragmatic Play, and other provider catalogues are available.
