Budget boost for Swedish gambling regulator

Lotteriinspektionen gets an additional SEK 19 million (Euro 1.8 million) to help handle the soon-to-be-liberalised market.

Sweden’s national gambling regulator Lotteriinspektionen has received a SEK 19 million (Euro 1.8 million) operational budgetary boost by the government to help it expand resources to manage the forthcoming liberalisation of the market early next year (see previous reports).

The additional funds increase the regulator’s total annual budget to SEK 70 million (Euro 6.7 million) – a 37 percent increase.

Earlier this year the director general of Lotteriinspektionen, Camilla Rosenberg, warned that the regulator would need additional IT resources and a larger headcount to properly manage the additional workload imposed by the changes.
