Pinnacle re-launches in Sweden as fully licensed operator

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Pinnacle has re-opened its Swedish site after a two-year absence in which it applied for a licence under the new regulatory regime.

The company received approval from the Swedish regulator in December 2019 but has waited for the right moment to launch. When Swedish football, the Allsvenskan, was given the green light to start this weekend, Pinnacle decided to open its doors once more with a full array of markets in time for the new season.

Pinnacle will offer a wide-range of sports and eSports betting in Sweden, covering all major sports and including Allsvenskan Women. Pinnacle is already a market leader in eSports betting and with Sweden being one of the biggest eSports markets in the world, there is significant room for growth. Before leaving the market in 2018 Pinnacle saw consistent double-digit annual growth in eSports betting in Sweden.

Pinnacle will bring its well-known high-volume, low-margin model to Swedes betting online. With an average margin of just 3.7% compared to an industry average of 7.2%, Pinnacle offers some of the best value and fairest pricing available. The company operates a responsible, fair and transparent model for customers, which is evidenced by the fact that the business has been granted a licence to operate in Sweden, which has one of the most stringent regulatory regimes globally.

Paris Smith, CEO of Pinnacle, said: ”This re-launch is a proud moment as Sweden is a key market for us, with many loyal customers having used Pinnacle over many years. The Swedish regulator is one of the most respected in the world and we are proud to meet the incredibly high standards they require to be recognised as a licensed operator. We believe that satisfying the requirements in Sweden means we can do it anywhere.

”We left the market on good terms and are returning as a fully licensed, regulated operator. We fully embrace the Swedish regulations and wanted to do things in the right way. Having done so, we now see this as an opportunity to contribute to a serious gaming environment in Sweden long-term and to be a key part in the development of the market.”

Pinnacle believes the long-term economic impact of a well-regulated online betting regime in Sweden could be notable, with a significant increase in the volume of bets in the coming years.

The Isle of Man Government highlighted its strong iGaming history in a statement released today by the Department for Enterprise. The Island’s reputation comes from robust regulation, political and economic stability, and close working between Government, regulators and industry. The statement reaffirmed that iGaming remains a core and enduring part of the Isle of Man’s economy, now and into the future.

The Chief Minister said the Government has strengthened its understanding of risk in response to a more complex global environment. He added that additional resources and frameworks are now in place to respond to emerging threats. The statement confirmed that ICE 2026 in Barcelona is the starting point for a coordinated programme of engagement. Digital Isle of Man and other agencies will continue to make the case for the Island as a secure and trusted home for well-regulated iGaming.

Responding to the announcement, Global Gaming Solutions said the statement provides important reassurance for existing licence holders and prospective businesses operating in the sector.

Mark O’Neill, Managing Director of Global Gaming Solutions, said:

“The Isle of Man Government’s reaffirmation of its commitment to the iGaming sector provides important clarity and reassurance for existing licence holders and the wider global industry. The Island’s long-standing focus on robust regulation, awareness and mitigation of emerging risks and constructive engagement with industry continues to underpin its reputation as a trusted and well-governed jurisdiction.”

Global Gaming Solutions added that clear, public affirmation of Government support plays a valuable role in maintaining confidence during periods of change, particularly for jurisdictions with a strong international reputation for regulatory quality and cooperation.

The Isle of Man Government stated that it will continue to work closely with industry. The aim is to support sustainable growth, meet international standards, and secure the sector’s long-term success. The Government will carry out further outreach and information sharing over the coming year to ensure regulatory expectations and emerging risks are clearly understood.
