BOS sends letter to the SGA about new gambling products

BOS, The Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling, has been in dialogue with the SGA, The Swedish Gambling Authority, for almost a year now, about how the Swedish licensed market may offer new gambling products to consumers more quickly and with better regulatory certainty. There is some regulatory uncertainty surrounding new games and the possibility of including them in the Swedish licensed market. BOS believes that it is of great importance that this can happen, not least in competition with the unlicensed gambling market, which does not wait for approval from the SGA but immediately introduces new games as they are created and offered to gambling companies. That speed must also be offered to the legally licensed gambling companies, according to BOS.
“The pace of innovation in the gambling industry is high and it is very important that the licensed gambling market can quickly offer consumers new attractive games. We hope that with our dialogue with the SGA and the letter we are sending them today, we can take a big step in the right direction. We want new attractive gambling products with regulatory certainty to be quickly included in the legal license market”, says Gustaf Hoffstedt, Secretary General BOS.
