Provider’s slots and live dealer titles given the green light by the Swedish Gambling Authority ahead of expected change to regulations

Stakelogic is among the first suppliers to secure a licence from the Swedish regulator, Spelinspektionen, allowing it to continue to offer its classic and video slots to operators in the market.

The provider’s live dealer subsidiary, Stakelogic Live, has also been given the green light by the Swedish Gaming Authority to continue to serve operators in the market.

Stakelogic is among the first suppliers to be granted a permit ahead of the expected change to regulations set to come into force later this year that will require all providers to have been approved by Spelinspektionen.

This means that operators will be able to offer their players Stakelogic’s full suite of classic slots that have been designed to stir a sense of nostalgia while still getting player pulses racing with plenty of big win potential.

These games are all about the instantly recognisable fruit symbols such as oranges, grapes, melons and cherries, as well as the BARs, Bells and 7s, that land on the reels. This is combined with Wilds, Multipliers and even Free Spins.

Popular Stakelogic classic slots available to operators in Sweden include Multi6Player, Big Runner Deluxe and Multi4Player.

In addition, the provider’s full portfolio of explosive video slots is also available to operators in the market. This includes Cash Express, Wild Buzz, El Cowboy Megaways, Devil’s Trap, Diamond Staxx Multipays^TMand the just-launched Spartans Vs Zombies Multipays and Greedy Fox.

Stakelogic Live’s premium live content has also been approved, allowing operators to offer their players the most authentic, interactive and engaging experiences in the market. Games cover American Blackjack, European Roulette and Live Game shows such as the newly released Runner Runner Roulette 5000X.

Both its slots and live dealer titles come hooked up to innovations such as Super Stake. This allows players to double their bet to increase the chance of a bonus triggering and insane win combinations landing.

Stephan van den Oetelaar, CEO at Stakelogic, said: “Sweden is an important market for us, and we are thrilled to be among the first to secure a supplier licence for both Stakelogic and Stakelogic Live.

Our games have really hit the mark with players in Sweden, and securing approval from the regulator means that we can continue to offer our slots and live content to operators and their players once the expected regulatory change comes into force.

We are super focused on regulated markets, so securing this approval has been a priority for us and we are delighted to be among the first round of providers to have been given the green light by the regulator.”

Armenia to Implement Strictest Gambling Regulations to Combat a Massive Surge in Addiction

At its meeting on last Wednesday, the Armenian Parliamentary Committee on Economic Affairs postponed the first reading of amendments to the Law “On Regulation of Gambling Activities” and several related laws until the next meeting for further revision.

Hayk Sargsyan, the author of the legislative initiative and a member of parliament from the ruling Civil Contract faction, stated that the volume of online casino bets in Armenia has increased more than 35-fold over the past eight years.

“While in 2017, the volume of online casino bets was 0.2 trillion drams, in 2025, it will increase more than 35-fold, reaching 7.4 trillion drams. Online casinos have become a scourge and a plague for our people,” Sargsyan said.

According to him, hundreds of thousands of citizens are wasting their money on gambling addiction. Regardless of their location, they have 24/7 access to online casinos and are unable to break their addiction.

“In an attempt to recoup their money, citizens are accumulating debts and loans, thereby further worsening an already critical situation. Under the current circumstances, the National Assembly is obliged to take preventive measures aimed at maximally restricting participation in online casinos for individuals who no longer want to gamble but are unable to overcome their addiction, as well as those in dire social situations or those using government support programs,” Sargsyan said.

The bill proposes establishing a mandatory requirement: all online casinos must place a publicly accessible self-blocking button on their websites and apps.

“After clicking this button, playing at online casinos will be prohibited for a period of five years, with no possibility of early reinstatement. After this period, the ban is automatically extended for another five years unless the citizen submits an application to lift the restriction five days before its expiration. Information about the self-ban will be communicated to the gaming operator. Activity in other online casinos and gaming platforms will also be suspended,” Sargsyan said.

He also stated the need to prohibit participation in online gaming for recipients of social benefits, individuals whose primary source of income is a pension, individuals in bankruptcy proceedings and participants in subsidy programmes implemented with funding or co-financing from the state budget. Furthermore, it is proposed to set a limit on participation in online gaming at 20% of annually declared income.

Government representatives approved amendments that are planned to come into effect on January 1, 2027, following the introduction of the gaming operator institution, which will likely be selected mid-year and implemented as soon as possible.

Wisconsin DOJ Sues to Stop Alleged Illegal Sports Betting Operations in Wisconsin

The Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced that it is suing Kalshi, Robinhood, Coinbase, Polymarket, Crypto.com, and their affiliates, to halt their alleged facilitation of illegal sports betting, a form of unlawful commercial gambling, in Wisconsin.

“Thinly disguising unlawful conduct doesn’t make it lawful. These companies’ alleged facilitation of sports betting in Wisconsin should be shut down,” said AG Kaul.

Except in limited circumstances, sports betting and other forms of commercial gambling have long been illegal in Wisconsin. Yet, as alleged in these lawsuits, the defendant companies have chosen to flout Wisconsin law through disguising the sports betting they facilitate on their online platforms as “event contracts,” which pay out just like ordinary bets based on the odds of sports-related outcomes.

The complaints further allege that the companies collect a fee for every bet made, meaning they generate revenue from Wisconsinites by violating the state’s gambling laws. Kalshi, as one example, reportedly generates more than $1 billion in annual revenue from its sports contracts, representing around 90% of its total estimated annualized revenue.

As the complaints allege, by making money from the sports bets they facilitate, these companies are engaging in unlawful gambling activity.

Wisconsin DOJ’s lawsuits, filed on last Thursday in Dane County, request a declaration that, by making sports-related event contracts available for trading by customers located in Wisconsin, the defendant companies are violating Wis. Stat.§945.03(1m) and thereby creating a public nuisance. The lawsuits additionally request preliminary and permanent injunctions enjoining and restraining the defendant companies from making sports-related event contracts available for trading by customers located in Wisconsin.
