Betsson subsidiary sees Swedish fine reduced on appeal

NGG Nordic, an operational subsidiary in the Betsson Group, has seen a fine imposed by Sweden’s gambling authority substantially reduced on appeal.
The Administrative Court in Linköping, hearing an appeal over a Spelinspektionen ruling issued last June over bonus rules violations, decreased an initial fine of SEK19m (€1.9m/$2.3m) to SEK14m. The same court rejected an appeal by PlayOjo operator Skill On Net on the SEK14m fine it was also handed last June regarding illicit bonuses and illicit lotteries.
Spelinspektionen said the Administrative Court mainly shared its interpretation of current provisions in the Gaming Act, but made a partly different assessment regarding the definition of bonus and the requirement for the direct connection of the bonus to the game.
