New online casinos in Sweden

29 Of the 732 casinos on our list do not block Sweden

Sweden licenses online casinos. Any casino that targets Swedish players needs a licence from Spelinspektionen, and every licensed site must check the Spelpaus self-exclusion register.

Only a small number of casinos on our list accept players from Sweden, and most name a Swedish licence. Check the licence column: a casino without one is not licensed in Sweden.

Legal risk · Sweden

Sweden licenses online casinos locally

Online casinos need a Spelinspektionen licence to serve Swedish players. Play only at a casino that names one; a casino without it is offshore and outside Swedish player protection. Check the law and your own risk before you play.

Short answer

Can players in Sweden use new online casinos?

Yes, at casinos licensed by Spelinspektionen. Licensed casinos may give only one bonus, at sign-up, and must apply deposit limits and Spelpaus. Offshore casinos that target Swedish players without a licence act illegally and fall outside those rules.

Questions

Sweden: questions

Are online casinos legal in Sweden?

Yes, with a licence from Spelinspektionen (Spelinspektionen). The law section on this page names the act and its dates.

Why do Swedish casinos offer only one bonus?

Swedish law lets licensed operators offer a bonus only on the first occasion a player plays with them.

What is Spelpaus?

Sweden's national self-exclusion register. A Spelpaus block covers every licensed gambling company for the period you choose.

What should I check before joining a new casino that accepts players from Sweden?

Read the casino's terms on Sweden first, because a casino can change the countries it accepts. Then check the licence it names, its withdrawal limits and the wagering on the welcome offer. In Sweden, also confirm the Spelinspektionen licence. Make a small first deposit and request a small withdrawal before you claim a bonus. Our review method lists the checks we run on every new brand.

Where can I get help with gambling in Sweden?

Gambling Therapy offers free, confidential support online in several languages. In Sweden, Stödlinjen offers free support and Spelpaus blocks every licensed site. Self-exclusion in a casino account only works at that casino. Our responsible gaming page explains the deposit and time limits you can set.

Responsible gaming

Play only if you are 18+ and it stays fun

These rules apply on every page of this site. A young casino has less history to judge it by, so the limits matter more.

18+ only

Adults only, everywhere

You must be 18 or older, and older in some countries. A casino can ask for ID before your first withdrawal, and new casinos often do.

New brands

Start small with an unknown casino

Deposit an amount you would accept losing to a failed withdrawal, and request a small cash-out early to see how the casino handles it.
