Government considers ‘extreme measures’ as activity rises amid COVID-19 restrictions but closures would drive more players to unlicensed sites instead of protecting them

9th April, 2020 ­­– The Swedish government’s threat to temporarily shut down licensed online casinos would have a disastrous effect on the industry and drive thousands more players to the black market, BonusFinder.com has warned.

The minister in charge of gambling policy, Ardalan Shekarabi, this week warned that “extraordinary measures” would be implemented if operators do not take action to slow the increase in igaming activity seen in the last two weeks, as people are told to stay at home because of the COVID-19 outbreak.

According to new data from Sweden’s gambling regulator, Spelinspektionen, there has been a 33% increase in registrations and logins to play online casino games with 17 of the 60 licensed operators in the country in the last 14 days.

Last month, Swedish market research carried out by BonusFinder.com found that almost a third of Swedish online casino players are searching for ‘unlicensed casinos’, with growing numbers turning to black-market brands due to the market’s restrictive gaming regulations, introduced in January 2019.

Instead of protecting players, a shutdown of online casino brands, however, is likely to lead to thousands more players searching for and depositing funds on unlicensed sites, as well as causing further financial damage to licensed operators, according to BonusFinder.com.

Fintan Costello, Managing Director, Bonusfinder.com, said: “The Swedish government will make a colossal mistake if it chooses to temporarily close down online casino sites in an attempt to protect players. As our research has shown, almost a third of online casino players are already looking to the black market for a more attractive offering since restrictive rules were imposed in January 2019. These latest plans would create an immediate black-market boom.

“Swedish legislation requires operators to have strict responsible gambling procedures in place, therefore the right measures are already there. The focus should instead be on ensuring these are adhered to rather than taking a knee jerk reaction to close down all legitimate brands and forcing even more players to unprotected sites.”

Competition is also an essential element of the Players Hub, with leaderboards showcasing players’ biggest wins. BGaming aims to provide additional information for players, such as Hit Rate and Free Spin Hit Rate, which allows players to develop gaming strategies and find games that best suit their playing style. Moreover, registered players have access to more useful options, perks, and features in the Players Hub.

Alongside its player benefits, Players Hub is also an incredible resource for businesses. Its real-time data provides insights into player behaviour and helps understand what drives customer engagement and retention, essentially serving as a real-time focus group.

This also provides valuable feedback for BGaming and its partners, allowing the company to tweak its products and create games that constantly meet the evolving players’ demands. Affiliates can also effectively utilise it, optimising conversions and developing enhanced game positioning and engagement strategies.

Above all else, the Players Hub is a demonstration of BGaming’s capabilities and commitment to innovation. It is the culmination of three years of work with players, reinforcing the company’s position as a game-changing iGaming content provider.

Kate Puteiko, Chief Marketing Officer, said: “We are excited to continue studying player behavior and further developing our B2C initiatives.
