Swedish regulators have issued a warning to gaming supplier Spribe after determining that its products appeared on unlicensed gambling platforms in violation of national rules.
The Swedish Gambling Authority, Spelinspektionen, said Spribe — which has held a supplier license in Sweden since July 1, 2023 — must stop providing content to companies barred from operating in the country. The regulator also imposed a SEK 5,000 (about $544) penalty.
Games Found on Unauthorized Sites
During an inspection, Spelinspektionen found Spribe titles available on several unlicensed websites. The agency ordered the company to remove the content and submit a compliance statement.
Spribe responded on Dec. 1, saying it had taken “immediate action” to pull its games from the unauthorized platforms. The company said the issue stemmed from a third‑party aggregator distributing its content without approval.
Spribe also reported discovering unverified games that infringed on its intellectual property.
Company Stresses Commitment to Compliance
In its statement, Spribe said it had never knowingly supplied software to an unlicensed operator in Sweden and emphasized that it does not control the third‑party aggregator responsible for the distribution.
Because the company acted quickly to correct the issue, regulators issued only a warning and a modest fine.
Elsewhere in Sweden: Record Jackpot, Industry Pushback
In separate news, ATG Casino reported its largest payout to date after a player in Solna won a $1.67 million EveryMatrix JackpotEngine prize on the Starburst slot.
Meanwhile, Swedish operators continue to oppose a government proposal to raise gambling taxes, arguing the change would harm the regulated market.
