Due to the fact that an obligation has been introduced in the gambling regulation for license holders to continuously report suspected match-fixing to the Gambling Inspectorate, the authority has decided to suspend the requirements in the regulations that license holders must report such suspicions to the authority annually. In connection with this, the title of the regulation has also been given a new wording.

The changes relate to the Swedish Gambling Authority’s regulations and general advice (SIFS 2020:2) on restrictions and prohibitions on certain betting to counter manipulation of results (including match fixing) in sports and reporting of suspected manipulation.

The changes will enter into force on 1 January 2025.
