Anger in the Industry After the Swedish Gambling Authority’s Acquittal of Infiniza
Last Friday, Di wrote about how the Swedish Gambling Authority closed an investigation into the Malta-based casino operator Infiniza, whose online casino, according to the authority’s assessment, is not aimed at Swedes. This is after the company changed the payment operator, i.e. who manages the transfer of gambling money from bank accounts to the casino, and the criteria that determine whether someone directs gambling at Swedes are not considered fulfilled.
Actions Did The Trick For Infiniza
“In light of the measures Infiniza Limited has taken regarding the company’s marketing as well as the payment options and/or payment service providers that were the subject of the current supervisory case, the Swedish Gambling Inspectorate assesses that the company, based on what emerged in the case, ceased to provide gambling aimed at the Swedish market without necessary license”
From the Gambling Authority’s decision that Infiniza review ceases, 21/2 2024.
Gustaf Hoffstedt, general secretary of the licensed gambling operators’ association The Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling (Bos), is upset.
“It is offensive, and endangers the entire safety and security of the Swedish gambling license system,” he told Di about the Spelinspektionen’s decision, which he read about “with dismay” in Di.
According to Gustaf Hoffstedt, who refers to web traffic statistics that Di has taken part in, Infiniza is one of Sweden’s largest players in online casinos.
“They are estimated to have a significant operation in Sweden, in fact a large part of it is intended to receive Swedish consumers. It is of course extremely profitable, as they do not pay any Swedish gambling tax.”
The Swedish Gambling Authority’s decision has been made after Infiniza’s casinos changed their payment provider to one based in Lithuania. In the past, the Swedish-registered payment services Finshark and Zimpler reviewed by Di have been used.
“That’s exactly how it goes: if someone shines a spotlight on the fact that payment intermediaries ‘blue’ are not okay, payment intermediaries become ‘red’, then ‘green’, then ‘purple’ – and it goes on forever.”
Gustaf Hoffstedt calls for stricter legislation similar to that in the Netherlands, where it is forbidden to even accept domestic players – whereby more people play with the licensed players.
“The basic problem is the scope of the Swedish law, that is to say that unlicensed gambling companies are not explicitly prohibited from passively accepting Swedish players, provided that the company does not target them,” he says.
For several years, BOS has addressed the problem to both governments, investigators and the Gambling Authority and called for the Netherlands’ example to be followed, with the criminalization of passively accepting and enabling Swedish players.
However, the organization has cut stone in stone, and has not received a hearing for its proposal.
“The government does not want this. It claims that the channelization (the percentage of licensed gamblers, Di’s note) is good in Sweden, which unfortunately is not true, that the gambling market is stable, which is also not true, and that this is not a path that Sweden should follow.”
Marcus Aronsson, investigator at Spelinspektionen, told Di that the decision from last Friday only concerns Infiniza’s use of Zimpler, and that the just concluded case was already started in 2021.
He cannot comment on whether the payment company or companies used thereon means that Infiniza can be considered to target Swedes, nor whether a new review of the operator has been initiated after the Zimpler case.
In the decision, however, it is explicitly mentioned that the Swedish Gambling Authority can initiate a new supervisory case if Infiniza can again be considered to target the Swedish market without the necessary license.

Rich Wilde Opens the Tome of Dead
Play’n GO reintroduce their iconic explorer in Rich Wilde and the Tome of Dead, a grid slot where forbidden knowledge, ancient deities, and raw chaos collide.
Rich Wilde returns to face his most perilous discovery yet. Uncovering a cursed tome deep within the sands of myth, Wilde inadvertently releases Ammit – the Devourer of the Dead. This 5×5 cascading grid slot challenges players to manipulate arcane power to seal the beast away. With bold visuals, dynamic mechanics, and a suspenseful storyline, this release elevates the Rich Wilde series with fresh gameplay and a darker, more mythological tone.
Every feature in Rich Wilde and the Tome of Dead serves the story. Charging the Ritual meter unleashes escalating effects, from destructive wilds to symbolic transformations. Opening the All-Seeing Eye can summon Altar Wilds or trigger the Ammit Wild – a fearsome 2×2 force that stalks the reels. With wild multipliers of up to 10x in the bonus round, players are drawn into a high-stakes dance of strategy and suspense. Cascading clusters and progressive chaos keep players engaged as the grid becomes a battleground between man and myth.
Following the acclaimed Rich Wilde and the Tome of Insanity, this instalment expands the character’s universe with a shift from Lovecraftian horror to Egyptian myth, and long-time fans will recognise nods to the iconic Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead. The introduction of Ammit adds an unpredictable antagonist, deepening the lore while maintaining the rich gameplay DNA that defines Wilde’s adventures.
Head of Game Retention, at Play’n GO, George Olekszy, said: “Rich Wilde’s legacy is iconic, and Tome of Dead reinvents it. By weaving layered mechanics into an intense mythos, we’ve created a slot that delivers both tension and spectacle.”
This is Rich Wilde at his most daring – and players will love every tense moment.
