Swintt games are now available in the regulated market of Sweden following a successful certification process to meet the standards of The Swedish Gambling Authority

Swintt, the developer and distributor of premium casino and live dealer content, has been given the green light to launch its games to operators and players in the Swedish market after being certified and approved by the Swedish Gambling Authority (Spelinspektionen).

The developer is focused on delivering its content to operators in regulated markets around the world and its full suite of games has already been certified by the Malta Gaming Authority with plans to secure more permits over the coming months.

One of the first titles to be certified and launched in Sweden will be Lone Rider XtraWaysTM, which will see Swintt debut its innovative XtraWaysTM mechanic where the reels expand and contract depending on the symbols the player lands.

Players can see how large the reels will be on their next spin, giving added incentive for another exciting spin to secure more ways to win – up to a whopping 262,144 ways.

Swintt has quickly built an unrivalled reputation for designing and delivering casino and live dealer content that is localised for growth markets and that tap into the different player preferences in each. This means each game not only meets but exceeds player expectations.

Some of the developer’s most popular titles include Book of the West, Spin City and Everlasting Spins, all of which can be hooked up to its innovative SwinttGamify tool. This allows operators to set in-game missions and tasks for players to complete, taking engagement and value to the next level.

LuckyCasino, Videoslots and Avento will be the among the first to offer Swintt’s games to players in Sweden, with more expected to follow over the coming months.

David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “We are delighted to have received certification for the Swedish market and make our games available to operators targeting the market for the very first time.

“Our games are localised for high growth markets, ensuring they meet the specific player requirements in each country. Sweden is no different, and our suite of slots will deliver the fun and entertainment that players are seeking.

“We are launching with some incredible operators and look forward to going live with more and bringing additional titles to the Swedish market over the coming months.”

Ireland’s New Gambling Regulator to Begin Work on Phased Basis Next Year

Published

Ireland’s new gambling regulator is likely to begin overseeing betting businesses in the Republic midway through next year, industry figures predict.

President Micheal D Higgins recently signed the new Gambling Regulation Act, which overhauls licensing and creates a new authority to govern betting firms, into law. Industry figures forecast that the new regime should begin operating midway through next year, a key point for many businesses as they will have to renew online betting licences by that time.

Government also has to pass several milestones before the new Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland can start functioning, including appointing the seven people the body requires.

Minister for Justice Helen McEntee appointed senior civil servant Anne Marie Caulfield as chief executive designate of the authority in summer 2022. Her office has 11 staff. According to the Department of Justice, the State’s Public Appointments Service will shortly begin recruiting the authority’s seven members.

The Minister will appoint the candidates the service recommends.

The department could not say when the authority would start regulating but noted this would happen in a phased “timely manner” after its establishment.

Jack Chambers, Minister for Finance, earmarked €9.1 million for the authority next year in this month’s budget. That includes €4 million for technology.

Ms Caulfield wrote to industry organisations last week confirming that her organisation would begin its work on a “phased basis” but pointing out that it has already completed many preparations. In a statement she said that the authority was committed to keeping the industry fully informed so businesses can “plan for the new regulatory regime”.

Meanwhile, the Public Service Appointments Service last week advertised for someone to head the authority’s social fund. Under the new law’s provisions, betting businesses will contribute to this fund which the authority will use to tackle problem gambling.

Betting businesses regard the fund’s establishment as one of the key steps towards establishing the new regime.

Alongside that, they say that the authority will also have to set up its new licensing system. The law demands that all gambling businesses operating in the Republic be licensed and makes it a criminal offence to operate without a proper permit.

Lawyers at Arthur Cox recently noted that current permits are preserved until licensing sections of the act come into force. Existing high street and online bookies’ licences will have a run-off period, but lawyers said that how this would work in practice depended on how the regulator developed the new system.

Betting businesses are keen that the authority works on a national self-exclusion register for customers who voluntarily ask bookmakers not to take their bets. Currently, most individual bookies have systems where customers who fear they have a problem, or are at risk, can exclude themselves in this way.
