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.”

PartnerMatrix, part of the EveryMatrix Group, has signed an exclusive collaboration with Broadway Platform, a Player Account Management platform (PAM) developed by SPRIBE, to expand distribution of the PartnerMatrix Agent System. The agreement was announced Monday, June 29th, 2026, in Malta.

Under the deal, Broadway Platform will introduce the PartnerMatrix Agent System to its clients as a tool to manage and scale offline traffic operations alongside digital affiliate activity.

The PartnerMatrix Agent System offers operators a powerful framework for managing both affiliate and agent-driven acquisition within a single ecosystem.

Intelitics adds generative AI visual reporting tool for iGaming marketers

Intelitics has launched Actionable Intelligence, a generative AI reporting feature designed to let iGaming and sports betting marketing teams create custom data visualisations on demand using plain-language questions.

The company said the tool builds on Intelitics’ existing reporting stack used to track partner performance, campaign ROI and acquisition metrics. Instead of commissioning a new report or writing code, users can query the same dataset and receive a chart or visualisation in response.

Use cases cited by Intelitics include comparing partner performance by traffic source, drilling into individual campaigns, and breaking down player value by acquisition channel. Intelitics said the feature interprets iGaming and affiliate marketing terms including partners, offers, traffic sources, player value, acquisition channels, GGR and NGR, without requiring users to translate requests into SQL.

“The data our customers need to make better decisions has always been inside Intelitics,” said Allan Stone, founder and CEO of Intelitics. “Actionable Intelligence makes it accessible on their terms, with no technical skills required and no waiting for a report to be built. We designed it so that everyone on a marketing team, not just the analysts, can explore their data and act on what they find – and we built it to understand the way iGaming and affiliate marketers actually talk about their business, from partners and offers to GGR and NGR.”

On data governance, Intelitics said Actionable Intelligence runs within each customer’s Intelitics environment. The company stated that customer data is not pooled across accounts, shared with third parties, or used to train any model outside that environment, and that each visualisation is generated only from the customer’s own Intelitics data. The feature is available to Intelitics customers.
