BonusFinder report: Swedish government throwing away tax money

Published

on

Reading Time: < 1 minute

 

The latest research from BonusFinder.com on Sweden’s iGaming crisis has revealed an acceleration in Swedes playing off-shore and a huge tax loss for the government – and all thanks to an overly burdensome regulatory structure that may yet be extended. The tax loss – at a conservative estimate around €46m for 2020 – would pay for a further 1,000 ICU nurses, 1,400 extra police, or in times of direst need pay for the salaries of a further 588 politicians.

Back in May 2020 the Swedish government reviewed its iGaming regulations, amid worries of an upsurge in gaming during the pandemic. The result was a weekly spend cap for gamblers, plus exceptionally tight rules on bonusing for new players.

Since then, Sweden’s gamblers have been exploring the temptations offered by unlicensed gambling sites with unregulated bonusing and no spend cap – and the trend is growing, with a domestic market unable to compete with their unrestrained rivals.

Even in the short term, this has led to tens of millions of Euros in tax revenue lost by the Swedish state – and BonusFinder.com’s report contains some recommendations for the government to stop this loss and turn the industry around.

BonusFinder.com Managing Director Fintan Costello said of developments: “Over-regulation is not working, which ultimately exposes the most vulnerable players to danger.”

Gustaf Hoffstedt, Secretary General of Sweden’s gaming trade association Branschföreningen för Onlinespel (BOS), added: “BonusFinder’s new data show us an alarming development on search words on Google aimed for unlicensed gambling in Sweden. This is something the regulator together with the industry should pay much more attention to.”

The distributor’s newest slot features club-inspired cascades and multipliers reaching as high as x1000.

3 Oaks Gaming, a well-known distributor of iGaming content, has launched DJ Tiger x1000, a colorful scatter pays slot with cascading mechanics and multipliers reaching up to x1000.

Underneath club lights and rotating disco balls, this engaging 6×5 slot animates each spin with lively, fast-paced gameplay. The Cascading Reels feature allows for the chance to activate several wins during one spin if eight or more identical symbols appear, with additional enhancement when the Permanent Wild appears and remains on the reels until the cascade concludes.

Disco Ball Bonus symbols are prominent, providing multipliers of up to x1000 either individually or triggered by DJ Tiger. When several Multipliers appear in one spin, their amounts merge to enhance the total winnings. Mystery Multipliers between x10 and x1000 may also surface, disclosing their amounts after the complete cascade ends.

Free Spins increase the pace even more, as each Multiplier from a winning spin adds to a Total Multiplier that accumulates during the feature.

Players can also check out the Bonus Shop, which provides three kinds of Free Spins, featuring Mega Free Spins where improved Multipliers from x25 to x1000 can be accessed. Three lively Spin Boosters are available as well, providing players the chance to elevate gameplay at an increased cost per spin.

Featuring an energetic atmosphere and characteristics, DJ Tiger x1000 is a vibrant new entry in the 3 Oaks Gaming collection, aimed at ensuring the celebration continues for players globally.

Victoria Vashukevich, Head of Account Management at 3 Oaks Gaming, said: “DJ Tiger x1000 is a vibrant evolution of our scatter pays slot portfolio, bringing a fresh club-themed twist and electrifying Multipliers that elevate the experience.

“The introduction of Disco Ball Bonus Symbols, Mystery Multipliers and a dynamic Bonus Shop add new layers to the gameplay, ensuring every spin feels energetic and engaging.”

Kendoo, the rapidly expanding slot supplier, is raising the stakes with the debut of 3 Blitz Hits, an exhilarating 5×3 slot where lightning-infused Blitz symbols ignite rising payouts and Free Spins enhance up to three stackable modifiers.

Created for speed, energy, and quick reward cycles, 3 Blitz Hits maintains continuous momentum from the initial spin to the last hit.

Central to the game is the engaging Blitz Hit Feature. Hitting three or more Blitz symbols immediately activates increasing payouts that can soar to an impressive 1,000 times the wager.

Lightning stickers can show up on any symbol, contributing to the colored Lightning Progress bars, which increase momentum for the Free Spins round. The violet, red, and blue trails each reveal a unique modifier, allowing for one, two, or all three attributes to trigger a layered Free Spins event.

The bonus begins with seven Free Spins, which can be obtained in both the Main Game and while in Free Spins. Free Spins always start with a minimum of one active feature and may encompass two or all three simultaneously.

The Extra Feature triggers extra Free Spins symbols on the fifth reel, granting +1 spins and prolonging the gameplay. The Double Feature enlarges the grid from 5×3 to 5×6, enhancing symbol coverage and providing a larger opportunity for wins.

At the same time, the Boost Feature adds extra Blitz symbols to the reels without affecting current line wins, enhancing Blitz Hit payouts and maintaining the excitement.

For gamers wanting to accelerate their experience, the Power-Up Buy feature provides immediate entry to Free Spins with one to three randomly chosen features, or the choice to enable all three simultaneously for optimal effect.

Kate Romanenko, Commercial Director at Kendoo: “3 Blitz Hits is all about delivering pure energy and fast-paced excitement.

“The blend of instant Blitz payouts and stackable Free Spins modifiers creates a dynamic flow where every spin feels charged with opportunity. It’s a powerful evolution within our 3 Pots portfolio.”

3 Blitz Hits is now available for demo and real play across all Kendoo partner platforms.
