Spelinspektionen: Data collection for unique Nordic gaming study begins
Reading Time: < 1 minute
A joint Nordic research project is now mapping gambling habits and gambling problems – 150,000 people in the Nordic region are participating in the sample.
The Nordic countries Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark have launched a unique joint research project on gambling: the Pan-Nordic Gambling Study (PANG). The aim is to gather comparable knowledge about gambling habits and gambling problems in the region – something that has been lacking so far. From Sweden, the Public Health Agency, which is responsible for the assignment, and the Swedish Gambling Authority have participated in the work of developing the study.
The study includes, among other things, the prevalence of gambling, participation in different forms of gambling, differences between licensed and unlicensed gambling, and the connection between gambling and health.
“The study will provide a basis for assessing gambling and gambling problems in the Nordic countries. It will be exciting to compare the results with previous Swedish data and with the rest of the Nordic countries, especially since so few similar joint surveys have been conducted in Europe,” says Maria Vinberg, investigator at the Swedish Gambling Authority.
Data collection will now begin in November 2025, when approximately 30,000 randomly selected people in each country will have the opportunity to participate in the survey. The results of the survey will be published in a joint report in spring 2026 and will constitute an important knowledge base for research and future decisions in the field of gambling.

EveryMatrix wins Cashpoint omnichannel turnkey platform deal in Denmark
EveryMatrix has signed a landmark omnichannel agreement to provide turnkey technology for one of Western Europe’s leading betting and gaming brands. Under the deal, EveryMatrix will power over 1,000 sports betting terminals across 230+ shops nationwide, while also delivering a fully integrated online sportsbook platform and launching Merkur’s first online casino in the second half of 2026.
The agreement represents the second major Denmark-based turnkey deal for EveryMatrix in just two months, following Danske Spil’s selection of the provider to power its casino and bingo operations.
Cashpoint, set to rebrand as Merkur Bets once the platform migration is complete, holds strong market positions in Germany, Austria, Belgium, and Denmark, making it one of the most prominent betting and gaming operators across Western Europe.
The brand began searching for a modern technology partner in early 2025, aiming to implement a scalable, omnichannel solution capable of integrating sportsbook and casino offerings. The migration from its in-house system to EveryMatrix’s turnkey platform is scheduled to align with the start of the new football season, ensuring a seamless transition for customers.
Ebbe Groes, Group Co-CEO & Co-Founder at EveryMatrix, said:
“The Cashpoint and Merkur brands are among the most recognisable in Denmark and across Europe. Partnering with their team to deliver a project of this scale is a privilege, and it demonstrates the growing trust tier-1 operators and lotteries are placing in EveryMatrix technology.”
Mathias Dahms, Managing Director Sportsbetting at Merkur Group, added:
“Merkur Bets is taking a major step forward this year. By switching to EveryMatrix technology and rebranding, we are positioning the brand for continued growth and success in Denmark. EveryMatrix offers the ideal foundation to support our omnichannel strategy and future expansion.”
This agreement reinforces EveryMatrix’s position as a leading provider of turnkey sportsbook and casino solutions, delivering both in-store and online experiences for operators across Europe.
