Market brief
CountrySweden's system is product-based, so a betting permission should not be read as permission for every online casino product. BETTIMES records commercial online gambling and betting as distinct activities and treats the public register as the controlling source for holder status.
Tax, consumer protection and technical supervision sit alongside the licensing decision. The 22% tax is measured on gambling proceeds rather than turnover, while Spelpaus provides a single self-exclusion route across operators covered by the system.

3 monitoring pointsMarket access
A licence is required when online gambling is supplied in Sweden or is not supplied in Sweden but is directed at the Swedish market. Licence scope and domain coverage must be resolved from the current register.
Refresh licence status and approved activities from Spelinspektionen's live register.
Track Gambling Act, duty-of-care and marketing-rule amendments separately from tax changes.
Verify that each brand and domain relationship is supported by the holder record rather than inferred from group ownership.
