Why is the Swedish gaming market regulated?

– Most European countries have a regulated market because:

– State-owned gaming companies shall show a gaming responsibility, lessen the risk for frauds and illegal gaming and also meet consumer interest.

– The profit from gaming shall be allocated to the state.

– Gaming operations shall be safe and reliable.

The gaming market review called ”Gaming regulation in the future” was initiated by the Ministry of Finance in 2007. The result was presented in 2008. In 2009 the review was dispatched to authorities concerned.
