License and what it means for you
We could not confirm which Betsson company holds the licence for this brand in each country. The brand appears on Betsson Group's own brand pages, which is why the owner link is verified. Check the site footer in your country for the company name and licence. A licence from a strict regulator, such as Sweden or Malta, gives players more protection than an offshore one.
Sister sites

Fines and regulator actions
Our data has 1 action against the group. In June 2025 Sweden's regulator Spelinspektionen gave Betsson Nordic Ltd a warning and a SEK 6.5 million fee for customer due-diligence failures under anti-money-laundering rules. A court upheld it.
