Swintt games are now available in the regulated market of Sweden following a successful certification process to meet the standards of The Swedish Gambling Authority

Swintt, the developer and distributor of premium casino and live dealer content, has been given the green light to launch its games to operators and players in the Swedish market after being certified and approved by the Swedish Gambling Authority (Spelinspektionen).

The developer is focused on delivering its content to operators in regulated markets around the world and its full suite of games has already been certified by the Malta Gaming Authority with plans to secure more permits over the coming months.

One of the first titles to be certified and launched in Sweden will be Lone Rider XtraWays^TM, which will see Swintt debut its innovative XtraWays^TM mechanic where the reels expand and contract depending on the symbols the player lands.

Players can see how large the reels will be on their next spin, giving added incentive for another exciting spin to secure more ways to win – up to a whopping 262,144 ways.

Swintt has quickly built an unrivalled reputation for designing and delivering casino and live dealer content that is localised for growth markets and that tap into the different player preferences in each. This means each game not only meets but exceeds player expectations.

Some of the developer’s most popular titles include Book of the West, Spin City and Everlasting Spins, all of which can be hooked up to its innovative SwinttGamify tool. This allows operators to set in-game missions and tasks for players to complete, taking engagement and value to the next level.

LuckyCasino, Videoslots and Avento will be the among the first to offer Swintt’s games to players in Sweden, with more expected to follow over the coming months.

David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “We are delighted to have received certification for the Swedish market and make our games available to operators targeting the market for the very first time.

“Our games are localised for high growth markets, ensuring they meet the specific player requirements in each country. Sweden is no different, and our suite of slots will deliver the fun and entertainment that players are seeking.

“We are launching with some incredible operators and look forward to going live with more and bringing additional titles to the Swedish market over the coming months.”

On 17 April 2026, the UK High Court rejected in full the claims brought by The New Lottery Company Limited (TNLC) and Northern & Shell PLC (N&S) against the Gambling Commission in relation to the award of the Fourth National Lottery Licence.

In summary, the claims alleged that the Gambling Commission had wrongly awarded the Fourth National Lottery Licence to Allwyn, and that instead, TNLC should have won the competition. The claims also alleged that the Gambling Commission and Allwyn had entered into impermissible modifications to the Licence arrangements following the competition.

The lengthy trial of the claims took place in the High Court before Mrs Justice Joanna Smith between 9 October and 2 December 2025, with an additional day on 13 January 2026.

The High Court has now ruled in favour of the Gambling Commission on all of the claims, rejecting the allegations which had been made.

This is an important judgment for the future of The National Lottery. This judgment makes clear that the Gambling Commission ran a fair and robust competition to award the Fourth National Lottery Licence, and that none of the contested changes to the Licence, in the course of its implementation, were substantial or contrary to the relevant procurement regulations.

The judgment gives resounding support to Good Causes by enabling Allwyn, with oversight from the Commission, to continue with their plans of investment in The National Lottery without further distraction.

The National Lottery is one of the world’s largest lotteries and since launching in 1994, National Lottery players have collectively raised more than £52 billion for more than 670,000 Good Causes across the UK, transforming lives and contributing to the arts, sport, heritage and communities.
