The Administrative Court in Linköping has overturned a March 2025 decision by the Swedish Gambling Authority (Spelinspektionen) that imposed a SEK 8 million ($852,867) penalty on Malta-based online gambling operator LeoVegas, which operates in Sweden under the Roar Vegas brand.
The regulator had issued the sanction over alleged violations of the duty of care requirements contained in Sweden’s Gambling Act. The court's decision to overturn the penalty marks a significant development in the case, providing relief for LeoVegas and impacting the regulatory landscape for online gambling operators in Sweden.
