Fresh research from the Swedish Betting Association (BOS) has shown that 77% of internet gambling in Sweden occurs on authorized platforms. This statistic, derived from a poll of almost 10,000 people, suggests that Sweden is nearing its objective of 90% channeling for digital gambling.
The research demonstrated that a substantial portion of respondents who engage in online wagering at least quarterly deliberately opt for licensed providers. These players collectively staked a total of SEK 467,287 (roughly $43,754 USD) on authorized websites. Nevertheless, a minor fraction confessed to utilizing unlicensed sites, emphasizing the ongoing hurdle in attaining complete channeling.
The investigation also unveiled intriguing disparities among gambling sectors. Sports wagering boasts the highest channeling rate at 84%, while internet casinos trail slightly at 72%. These findings offer valuable information for regulators and interested parties as they continue to formulate strategies for a responsible and enduring gambling industry in Sweden.
The Swedish government has set ambitious goals to significantly enhance internet accessibility nationwide. Their objective is to achieve parity with Denmark, targeting a 90% broadband penetration rate. Currently, their coverage stands at 77%, indicating a need to close the existing disparity and connect a larger portion of the population.
