The Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling, BOS, has urged the government to withdraw its proposals to extend current restrictions on the online gaming industry.

“There is nothing as permanent as a political promise of something temporary. The temporary restrictions introduced this summer were justified by an alleged increase in online casinos. That did not turn out to be the case. Online casino activity didn’t increase, and sports betting decreased dramatically due to canceled matches. Instead, it was gambling on horses that increased dramatically,” Gustaf Hoffstedt, Secretary-General of BOS, said.

“All actors on the gambling market, such as the Swedish Gambling Authority, we and the government, knew this but unfortunately the government persisted in the erroneous claim that online casino activity would increase and that special restrictions were therefore called for regarding that form of gambling. Betting on horses, on the other hand, was left protected from restrictions.

“It is unfortunate that we can only state that the government is now making a double mistake when it with the same erroneous claims about increased online casino gambling extends the restrictions.

“The consequences of the restrictions are twofold. First, high-volume players jump between more and more gambling companies to avoid the deposit limit. This makes it difficult for an individual gambling company to get an overall picture of a player’s behavior, which is a prerequisite for being able to take protective measures in the event of suspected problem gambling.

“Second, the high-volume players are leaving the Swedish licensing system in favor of the unregulated gambling market, where there are no deposit limits. Even before the first restrictions were introduced this summer, the leakage from the Swedish licensing system was 25 percent for online casinos. What the leak is today and what happens during the extended restriction is a scary thought. The government throws the Swedish gambling consumers out of the licensing system into the wolves’ gap where consumer protection is zero.”

Evoplay has won at the EGR B2B Awards 2026 in the category Marketing campaign of the year. This recognition celebrates a campaign built around Uncrossable Rush, Evoplay’s first instant title co-developed with SlotCatalog.

For Evoplay, this shows how strong marketing starts long before the campaign goes live. It begins with the product idea, the player insight and the team’s creative ability to connect them into a story people notice.

This award reflects Evoplay’s work on building campaigns that support a game release by maximising the engagement moment around it.
