Svenska Spel Responds to Spelinspektionen’s Match-fixing Proposals

Svenska Spel has hit out at Spelinspektionen’s (Swedish Gambling Authority) proposed measures to combat match-fixing in the country, arguing that the ban on betting on rule violations still leaves plenty of scope for manipulation.
Last month, Spelinspektionen put forward an amendment to Sweden’s gaming rules that would see operators prohibited from offering odds on rule violations, such as yellow cards in football or faults in tennis.
At the time, the regulator said the measure would help efforts to tackle match-fixing by removing any potential reward for athletes that commit certain acts for match-fixing purposes.
“Much sharper action is needed if we are to win the fight against the match fixes; one of these is to ban all easily manipulated gaming objects. The proposal provides apparent protection, but will in practice have a very limited effect. We therefore propose a tightening of the regulations and hope that Spelinspektionen will take our views into consideration,” Patrik Hofbauer, Chief executive of Svenska Spel, said.
“Games on corners and throw-ins are at least as easy to manipulate, so the logic of this boundary is difficult to see. Instead, we think that [betting on] all easily manipulated game events should be banned,” Hofbauer added.
Hofbauer also raised concerns that the proposed bans would only apply to sports events taking place in Sweden, whereas games and competitions being played elsewhere would not be covered by the measures.
As such, Hofbauer and Svenska Spel put forward alternative measures for the regulator to consider. First, the operator said that the ban should apply to all events in a game or competitions that can be easily manipulated.
The operator said the ban should extend to all gambling businesses that hold a licence in Sweden, rather than sports events taking place in the country. Svenska Spel also said bookmakers should be limited to the events they can offer betting on, with the operator saying that the higher the level of the sport or event in question, the harder it is to manipulate the results.
In addition, Svenska Spel said licensed operators should be required to report all suspicious events to the regulator immediately, rather than just once per year as proposed by Spelinspektionen.
Spelinspektionen’s proposals also attracted criticism from Branschföreningen för Onlinespel (BOS), Sweden’s trade association for online gambling, which said that by bringing bets on these events out of the regulated market, the authorities would lose the ability to monitor suspicious betting on events and to effectively police match-fixing.

Bragg Launches Big Ticket Bonanza Gamification Tool

Bragg Gaming Group announced the launch of the latest gamification-led innovation to its award-winning Fuze marketing and promotional toolset, Big Ticket Bonanza, a new way to engage with players through multiple targeted and bespoke campaigns.
Big Ticket Bonanza rewards players with guaranteed-win scratchcards, triggered randomly during normal gameplay. The scratchcards award instant cash prizes or raffle tickets, which are collected and entered into weekly or monthly prize draws.
Players collect tickets by wagering on participating casino games. The more they engage with the game, the more tickets they earn—boosting engagement without disrupting the core gaming experience.
The tool supports both weekly and monthly draws, giving operators flexibility in structuring prize pools and maintaining consistent momentum. Ticket counters update dynamically within the game interface or external campaign widgets, reinforcing progress and encouraging continued participation.
Offering a totally branded experience, campaigns are fully customisable to reflect the operator’s branding, including logos, colour schemes and thematic design elements.
At all points Big Ticket Bonanza offers fair and transparent draws, backed by secure RNG-based draw mechanisms that ensure compliance and fairness, with exportable logs for auditing.
Players can access their ticket counts, prize history, via an in-play dedicated display.
The launch comes as part of Bragg’s strategic investment in creating amazing iGaming experiences for players, illustrating how the work of suppliers can create positive experiences for players and ostensibly, deliver meaningful results for its operator partners.
Bragg champions a culture of iGaming excellence and constant innovation, not only to its gamechanging iGaming content portfolio, but also in its full service suite of technology solutions, excellence and innovation which creates a competitive advantage in the iGaming industry.
The Big Ticket Bonanza gamified player engagement campaign aims to boost player engagement and session time, while increasing wagering volume. It also provides a scalable promotion for both short bursts and longer-term brand events.
Bragg is targeting an aggressive roll-out strategy for Big Ticket Bonanza across its operational markets in Europe, the US and the LatAm region, opening up new opportunities for growth globally.
Launched with valued partner Senator Group in Croatia, which operates on the Bragg player account management (PAM) platform, Big Ticket Bonanza is now available to all of Bragg’s casino content, aggregation and PAM partners and presents a huge opportunity to engage with players.
Big Ticket Bonanza joins an ever expanding and constantly updated list of player engagement tools accessible through the Fuze player engagement toolset. Unlike static promotions, Fuze engagement mechanics adapted dynamically to player behaviour, ensuring continuous participation.
Other tools available within Fuze include tournaments with real-time leaderboards, quests, flash jackpots, sophisticated bonusing, free rounds and a games recommendation system powered by cutting-edge AI technology.
Matevž Mazij, Chief Executive Officer at Bragg Gaming Group said: “Innovation and excellence form the cornerstone of the Bragg approach to iGaming, and to ensure that our operator partners have the latest tools available in creating dynamic and fantastic experiences for their players.”
“Big Ticket Bonanza is the latest evidence of that focus, our commitment to investing in our products and presents a significant competitive advantage for Bragg as an iGaming supplier, an advantage that we’re looking to drive home globally.”
Croatian online operator Senator Group, a long-standing turnkey solutions partner of Bragg is among the first of Bragg’s operator partners to utilise Big Ticket Bonanza in their marketing strategy.
Vedran Maric, Head of iGaming at Senator Group, said: “Bragg has been a terrific partner to us in our transition from land-based to offering iGaming to our players, and their suite of products and technology have proven invaluable in this process.”
“We’re working collaboratively with Bragg to introduce Big Ticket Bonanza into our marketing, but I’m sure it will be well received by our players in the Croatian market.”
