Swedish gambling authority issues accreditation to supply  regulated operators

Malta, June 1, 2023 – Bragg Gaming Group has become the latest provider to receive a B2B supplier licence in the Swedish market ahead of new regulation enforcement in the country.

By gaining the supplier licence, Swedish players will continue to have access to the comprehensive range of exclusive content delivered via Bragg’s remote games server.

The Swedish market forms an important part of Bragg’s overall European strategy and 2022 figures from the Spelinspektionen put the gross gaming revenue of licenced online operators at approximately SEK12bn (USD $1.2bn).
