Is Online Sports Betting Legal in Sweden?

Since the year 2019 until the present, the Swedish gambling market has been completely regulated and controlled by the state.
In this regard strict advertising restrictions have been introduced in the country, as well as strict controls which regulate bonus policies.

In Sweden, all bookmakers wishing to operate in the country must first obtain a national license in order to carry out their activities.
Currently the number of such issued licenses is quickly approaching 90 and this is in fact a very high figure.

However, the Swedes still have the opportunity to bet on betting sites outside of Sweden that have an international license.

An analysis of the statistical data suggests that at least 25% of adult Swedes have in the past made and continue to make monthly sports bets using bookmakers and online betting sites.

It is not at all something alien or uncommon for the Scandinavian country to have football betting as the priority with regard to betting in general.

In Sweden, they love football and are today attempting to develop their national football with all their might.

Hence it is due to this factor that the country has seen an increased interest in betting on this sport.

Due to the fact that many of the hopes of the Swedes when engaging in sports betting are associated with the participation of their national hockey team competing in the World Championships, hockey deservedly occupies second place.

However it is also popular for people to bet on tennis, basketball and even golf.
