The Swedish Gaming Authority (SGA) has said it will support the introduction of gaming software licenses for B2B providers.
Replying to the Swedish government report on the study gaming market , the SGA stated that this should not cover manufacturing and that a definition of what constitutes gaming software would still be required to facilitate this process.
In addition, the SGA has proposed an exception to section 3 of the Swedish Gambling Act, which requires gaming software licenses to be filed for a maximum of 10 years.
Concurrent with the call for vendor licensing, the SGA called for specific moderation requirements for gambling marketing used in alcohol marketing.
“It is logical to have the same basic requirements for game marketing as for alcohol marketing, since the risks associated with products are similar, which is also mentioned in the request,” the SGA wrote.
“Introducing certain moderation requirements would provide enhanced consumer protection at the same time for stakeholders, which is a relatively small constraint compared to what applies today,” the regulator added.
The SGA has said it is against imposing a loss limit of SEK 5,000 (£80) per week on all ATM gambling, suggesting further investigation into the measures is required.
“Such an investigation should include more risky forms of gambling and the question of what appropriate level of restrictions for different forms of gambling should be highlighted,” the SGA wrote.
