The Administrative Court has upheld sanctions against three gambling companies for deficiencies in anti-money laundering efforts.
Three gambling companies receive warnings and fines totaling 22 million kronor. The Swedish Gambling Authority decided on the measures after finding serious deficiencies at the firms.
The Administrative Court upholds the Gambling Authority's decisions against Snabbare, Betsson Nordic and Spooniker. The court notes that the deficiencies involve repeated violations rather than isolated incidents.
The authority pointed to large deposits and transaction patterns that should have triggered deeper checks. The companies delayed action despite elevated risk levels, according to the agency.
One party appealed the decision but the court shares the authority's assessment on the need for stricter customer due diligence measures.
