Wazdan set on global expansion as they enter 2020 with multiple licenses
Wazdan set their sights on worldwide expansion as they tally up their licenses and certifications, and strategise on what’s next for their international customer base.
Following on from a significant year of international expansion, the innovative slot game producer is looking to the year ahead with big ambitions on how to please their global audience of players and operators.
As of today, Wazdan games have been licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority, the UK Gambling Commission, Curacao eGaming and Romanian National Gambling Office ONJN. Not to mention, being certified and able to offer their products in Sweden, Denmark, Portugal, Spain, Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia.
With these new licenses and certifications, Wazdan have been able to further cement their place as a leading slot producer on a global scale, where brands across the world have clamoured to offer their games, and players have got to enjoy a taste of the tailorable games unique to the Wazdan brand.
This has, of course, come as a result of hard work from the team at Wazdan. The operation of the casino software developer in these countries aids in their expansion strategy into key controlled markets around the world, such as Mexico and Sweden.
2019 saw the entry of Wazdan into the Swedish market through partners Kindred, Mr Green, Hero Gaming, and others, as well as into Mexico via their partnership with Logrand.
Looking at the year ahead, Wazdan continues to hold ambitious plans. More games, more licenses and more happy customers, being the top three focusses for 2020.
Be sure to visit the team at ICE London on stand S8-202 between the 4th to 6th of February to discuss what 2020 has in store, and to discover brand new games, including Black Horse Deluxe™, Sonic Reels, and Sic Bo Dragons.
“2020 is officially in full swing, and we could not be more excited and energised to push forward into the year ahead. We closed off 2019 with our games reaching an audience wider than ever before, and we intend to spend 2020 reaching further, both in terms of international expansion and in what we can do to delight players and operators through our games. Visit us on stand S8-202 at ICE London for an enthusiastic conversation about all things gaming and innovation.” Andrzej Hyla, Head of Sales at Wazdan.

Swedish Gambling Authority consults tighter duty of care rules as channelisation slips

Published

swedish-gambling-authority-consults-tighter-duty-of-care-rules-as-channelisation-slips

The Swedish Gambling Authority (SGA) has opened a consultation on new gambling responsibility (spelansvar) regulations that would replace the current Regulations and General Advice on Responsible Gambling (LIFS 2018:2). The consultation was issued on 16 June 2026, with stakeholders given until 10 August 2026 to submit comments.

According to the consultation summary, the draft rules would formalise parts of existing Swedish case law while adding “new, detailed and strict requirements” for licensed operators. The proposals cover player monitoring and assessment factors, earlier intervention expectations, expanded mandatory responsible gambling measures, documentation and Duty of Care Action Plan requirements, player communications, and more detailed provisions on responsible gambling logos and limits for login and deposits.

The consultation lands as the regulator reports a slight dip in channelisation. In its latest report, the SGA estimates that 84% of Swedish consumer gambling took place with licensed operators during 2025, down from 85% in 2024. The authority also estimates that around 94% of players used a licensed operator at least once during the year, while noting that channelisation remains “significantly lower” for online casino than for betting.

In parallel, the Administrative Court has overturned an SGA enforcement decision against Roar Vegas Ltd (LeoVegas). On 12 June 2026, the court set aside the SGA’s warning and SEK 8 million sanction fee linked to alleged duty of care breaches, where the regulator had argued the operator intervened too late for customers showing indicators of excessive gambling.

The decision adds further judicial scrutiny to how duty of care expectations are applied in Sweden, even as the SGA continues to emphasise timely interventions when harm indicators are identified. For operators, the consultation and the court ruling together raise the stakes on process, documentation, and the evidentiary standards likely to be tested in future supervision and appeals.
