Invitation BOS webinar on bonus regulation
Learn all about the Swedish bonus regulations! The do’s and don’ts of what gambling companies can offer their customers under the regulations. Welcome to a BOS webinar in cooperation with law firm Westerberg & Partners Advokatbyrå on the theme: Bonuses on the gambling market – what is the legal position in Sweden?
Thursday December 3, 11 am-12 pm CET
The Administrative Court in Sweden rendered verdicts in four cases earlier this year on the rules in the Gambling Act of what constitutes a bonus and the dividing line between lawful welcome bonuses and unlawful bonuses. At least three additional cases will be examined by the Court in the near future. Two of the cases have been appealed to the Administrative Court of Appeal. An additional case has been examined by the Patent and Market Court regarding the legal restrictions on the marketing of bonuses. The case partly confirms and partly contradicts what the same court stated in the first judgment on the issue last year.
We bring clarity to the courts’ reasoning and verdicts with support from Westerberg & Partners Advokatbyrå and its lawyers Stefan Widmark, Bodil Ehlers, Petter Larsson and Josefine Lindén. They will guide us towards an increased understanding of the regulations on bonuses, conditions for bonuses such as requirements on use, time limits, including the admissibility on, inter alia, the following offers:
- VIP-schemes
- Loyalty programs
- Recurring deposit bonuses
- Offers of recurring bonuses when depositing funds
- Offers of recurring cashbacks
- Weekly free games
- Recurring free spins
In addition – as a bonus – we offer concluding reflections from the CEO of Åland based gambling company Paf Christer Fahlstedt. Paf operates in many jurisdictions. How well does the Swedish bonus regulation work compared to other jurisdictions? Has Sweden found the perfect balance between costumer protection and profitability?
The webinar will be held in English. RSVP no later than December 2 to [email protected]
The webinar is not exclusive for BOS members but open to all interested. A link to the webinar will be distributed on December 2.
