BOS Presents Report on Channelisation on the Swedish Gambling Market
Swedish online gambling trade association Branschföreningen för Onlinespel (BOS) has presented a report on channelisation on the Swedish gambling market. The study was commissioned by BOS and conducted by the Copenhagen Economics consultancy.
The report shows a general declining development on the competitive side of the gambling market (81–85 % channelisation). It also reports very low channelisation numbers for the gambling verticals sports betting (80–85 %) and online casino (72–78 %).
The Governmental channelisation goal for a sustainable gambling regulation is 90 %. This is the first report which shows channelisation for individual gambling verticals, like sports betting and online casino, in the Swedish market.
“There is no doubt that the licensing system is under heavy pressure when it comes to the gambling verticals sports betting and online casino. It is irresponsible to even consider further restrictions towards the locally licensed operators in those verticals, since we know that such restrictions push the punters away from the licensed market to the unregulated illegal market with its non-existent customer protection,” Gustaf Hoffstedt, Secretary-general of BOS, said.
“The future for the Swedish licensing system is now determined by the authorities and the Government’s ability to abstain from further restrictions towards locally licensed operators,” Gustaf Hoffstedt added.
“First of all, Minister Ardalan Shekarabi must withdraw his proposed additional restrictions from last week towards licensed operators. Secondly the Gambling Market Inquiry headed by Anna-Lena Sörenson must abstain any suggestions on additional prohibitions regarding marketing for licensed operators. And thirdly the Swedish Gambling Authority must withdraw its suggested additional restrictions for sports betting towards licensed operators, like prohibitions on betting on friendly matches and lower divisions in football,” Gustaf Hoffstedt added.

EveryMatrix goes āback to where it all beganā with new London office opening
Ā
EveryMatrix has opened a new central London office, 17 years after it was founded in the UK capital.Ā
Located in the heart of the city on the 25th floor of the newly opened 258,000 sq ft HYLO building in Old Street, London, the premium office space is home to various EveryMatrix teams, including several members of its OddsMatrix sports platform division.
The HYLO has been described as one of Londonās most exciting new buildings, boasting a high rise tower and large, efficient podium floors plus roof gardens and new public spaces all within the popular Shoreditch area.
Team members include UK-based ex FSB Technology employees who have successfully integrated into EveryMatrix, following its acquisition last year. Many of the team have been responsible for delivering the Groupās new horse racing product.
Built from the ground up in just six months, the EveryMatrix racing product is fully managed by the expert, award-winning former-FSB tradingāÆteam in London. The solution offers a wide range of global content, round the clock streaming, multiple derivative markets, granular price management and dynamic cross-product bonusing.
Designed to appeal to core racing markets such as the UK & Ireland and South Africa, customers also benefit from integration into EveryMatrix platform technology, offering increased scale, next generation user experience, enhanced bonusing and increased automation.
The new EveryMatrix London office is the third new global location to be opened this year with Chang Mai in Thailand and Cebu in the Philippines welcoming teams in March. This takes the total number of global EveryMatrix offices to 15 employing more than 1,400 staff.
The EveryMatrix workforce has increased by 40% since last March when the company announced its 1,000th employee while simultaneously cutting the ribbon on a state-of-the-art, sustainably developed and built office for more than 500 staff in Bucharest.
Ebbe Groes, Group CEO and Co-Founder, EveryMatrix, said: āWeāre back where it all began when Stian [Hornsletten] and I co-founded the business in 2008. This new opening brings back so many fond memories and Iām personally delighted to see the business come back full circle.Ā
