Three gambling companies – SCGO Limited, Avento MT Limited and Premier Gaming Ltd – have been the subject of supervision notices handed out by the Swedish gambling authority.
Spelinspektionen will assess each operation’s general risk assessment and review its compliance with the customer due diligence provisions of Sweden’s Money Laundering Act.
Each risk assessment and compliance review will be based on each company’s routine documents, with the authority stating that each review will cover chapters two to four of the act (2017:630) on measures against money laundering and terrorist financing.
SCGO has held an online sports betting and iGaming licence in Sweden since December 2023 and operates the Vbet platform.
Avento MT has been licensed as an iGaming operator in the country since January 2023 and operates the following platforms: Frank Casino, mrbit and SlotV.
Premier Gaming was issued an online sports betting and iGaming licence in Sweden in January 2024 and operates the following platforms: Pronto Casino, Pronto Live, Pronto Lotter, Pronto Odds and Pronto Sports.
The results of each review, as well as information on respective interventions if necessary, will be published by Spelinspektionen once each review is completed.
iGaming Expert has reached out to SCGO, Avento MT and Premier Gaming for comment on the supervision notices they have each received from the Swedish gambling authority.
Dutch AML shortcomings
This is the second time that SCGO has been placed under the AML microscope recently.
Back in December last year, Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) issued a warning to Vbet following an April 2025 investigation that highlighted shortcomings in the area of the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Prevention) Act (Wwft).
However, SCGO told iGaming Expert at the time that it is committed to working with the KSA to ensure the ‘safest possible operating environment’ in the Netherlands.
