“Slot machines are strongly linked to problem gambling and I think that limiting them would be highly beneficial. From a regulatory and economic standpoint, that would ‘only’ affect the Swedish monopoly. It’s definitely an issue that I hope the politicians will investigate going forward,” says Jenny Cisneros Örnberg.
“The biggest gambling problems are associated with the fast games: internet-based casinos, for example. From a consumer protection perspective, it’s problematic when you have 24/7 accessibility,” says Cisneros Örnberg.
The Swedish media has pounced upon one potential risk of the proposed legislation – that of online gambling skyrocketing. Svenska Spel has wanted to start an online casino since 2014; but, the government refused to grant it permission. If, in the future, the monopoly operator is just one of many licensed companies on the market, this could open the door for it to establish its much anticipated and lucrative online casino. Svenska Spel currently has, by far, the highest number of registered customers, and would thus, be able to grow the market, in one fell swoop, if it suddenly started an online casino.

The Nordic Welfare Centre arranged an international conference on gambling, It was held in Helsinki on 6-7 November 2017. Jenny Cisneros Örnberg participated in the conference.
The key ideas of the new gambling laws are a high level of consumer protection, high security for those playing the games and clear preconditions for being granted permission to participate in the market. The Swedish gambling market would be divided into three sections: one exclusively for the state, one for nonprofits and one for gambling companies that meet the imposed requirements. The state would operate land-based casinos and gambling machines.
While unlicensed foreign companies have increased their market share, the national monopoly, Svenska Spel, has lost ground, despite the fact that the market has grown slightly. For example, foreign gambling companies, already control over 50 per cent of the internet gambling market. Last year, the Swedish gambling market enjoyed revenues totalling SEK 22 billion after the payout of winnings.
