Sweden’s gambling authority, Spelinspektionen, has adopted a new regulation on supervisory fees, SIFS 2026:1, published on February 6 and entering into force on March 1, 2026. The revised framework changes the calculation model: supervisory charges will now apply to each individual licence rather than to an entire corporate group, as was previously the case.

Under the updated schedule, operators holding a B2C online casino licence will pay approximately €22,600 per licence. The same amount will apply to B2C sports betting licences. Suppliers operating under a B2B software licence will face a significantly lower supervisory fee of around €1,550.

The fee revision forms part of a broader gambling reform package scheduled for 2026. From April 1, a comprehensive ban on funding gambling accounts with credit cards, consumer loans, overdraft facilities, and buy-now-pay-later services will take effect. In addition, as of January 1, 2026, the regulator has received expanded powers from parliament, including strengthened authority to impose sanctions and revoke licences.

Spelinspektionen is also preparing legislative amendments that would enable enforcement action against unlicensed operators accepting Swedish players, even if their websites are not explicitly targeting the domestic market.
