Latest news about Denmark

It was a couple of weeks ago, that Spillemyndigheden, the Danish Gambling Authority has proposed to amend Danish Gambling Act to restrict the amount of marketing for gambling games, particularly to reduce exposure of children to gambling advertising.

The move is to prevent gambling from evolving from a form of entertainment into a problem. “A new code of conduct should be considered a benchmark and only a minimum requirement for the gambling industry,” said the authority.

The authority also stated that the code of conduct is “an opportunity to set limits and tools in place that go even further than required by law. This includes preparing clear frameworks for game advertising content and ensuring that the amount of advertising is reduced and restrictions are in place.”

The move will affect gambling-related advertising on TV stations.

Earlier this year, the gambling authority of Denmark has censured social media giant Facebook for promoting illegal gambling websites on its platform.

Latest news about Sweden

Sweden’s newly liberalized online gambling market has only been in place for a couple of months, but already it is proving a success. Spelinspektionen (the Swedish Gambling Authority), granted licenses to 60 gambling operators before the new laws were implemented on January 1. It has since approved more operators, bringing the total number of license holders to +70.

However, the fears of the operators have not been cleared yet, as it was just a month ago, that Sweden’s Minister on Public Administration, Ardalan Shekarabi said the government will be making more stringent regulations on gambling advertisements. He also summoned representatives of the gambling industry to parliament for a discussion on this topic.

The act stipulates that all gambling companies operating in Sweden be licensed and that they must ensure gambling advertisements are restrained.

The act also bans direct marketing of gambling companies of individuals who have barred themselves from gambling. Over 20,000 people in Sweden have self-selected to be barred from access to online sites, but the minister noted that these rules were not being complied with across the board.

According to a surprising new study, the majority of people with a gambling addiction in Sweden are women.

The country’s public health authority unveiled that almost two-thirds of the gambling addicts in the country (64 percent) are female. The survey also found that while the overall number of gamblers decreased since the last survey in 2015, the number of problem gamblers rose by 50 percent. Women made up half those considered problem gamblers.

Latest news from Norway

It was just two months ago when the European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) has urged the Norwegian government to rethink on the policy of banning payment transactions of six gambling companies. The Norwegian government had asked the banks to block payments to and from accounts identified as being used for processing gambling transactions.

He pointed out the fact that there are currently only two gambling providers authorized in Norway – both state-owned. He termed the present regime not sustainable. He also said that the present system depletes Norwegian state tax revenues and jeopardizes the task of keeping control of the market.

He urged the Norwegian government to develop a regulated market, based on multi-licensing and focusing on a high level of consumer protection.

When it comes to gambling legislation, some European countries give their citizens maximum freedom and others impose maximum restrictions. One country, Norway, fits both descriptions. Despite the best efforts of the Norwegian government to monopolize gambling in recent years, its citizens are free to play online bingo or use online casinos without fear of punishment.

Golden Boomerang Awards 2025 has launched a special competition for the Champions League semi-finals

Published

on

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Boomerang Partners, a rapidly growing global brand, is excited to announce the launch of a special contest in conjunction with the 2025 Golden Boomerang Awards tournament, running until May 11. This contest, dedicated to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League, offers tournament participants a chance to compete for exclusive prizes.

With more than 400 affiliate teams participating worldwide, the competition is fierce, with monthly prizes up for grabs. The final prize drawing will take place on May 3, where one lucky winner will have their dream fulfilled. In addition to monthly prizes, awards will be given in 11 different categories.

The special Champions League-themed contest is open to both current tournament participants and newcomers. Registration for this unique opportunity is open until May 5, giving everyone a chance to win the grand prize — the coveted ‘Home Stadium Fan’ VIP experience. Affiliate managers will provide details to new participants.

The Champions League semi-finals are a top event in the world of sports, which generates fantastic interest among fans. The first matches will take place on April 29 and 30, when Arsenal will play PSG and Barcelona will face Inter, respectively. The return matches will take place on May 6 and 7. All the teams that made it to the top four deserve to win.

Arsenal are betting on the Champions League, given that they are 12 points behind leading Liverpool in the English Premier League and have played one more match. PSG are 23 points off the lead in the French Ligue 1, and can safely focus on the Champions League. Interestingly, Arsenal already played PSG in the second round of the tournament’s group stage and won 2-0.

The game between Barcelona and Inter looks particularly interesting. It is a rematch of the 2010 semi-final, when Inter eventually won the Champions League trophy. The teams approach the game as leaders of the championships—Spain and Italy. Barcelona’s best striker, Robert Lewandowski, will miss the first game – he is out for about three weeks due to injury.

The upcoming Champions League matches will be a powerful boost for the participants of the Golden Boomerang Awards. It is not only a chance to win a special prize, but also an opportunity to improve their positions in the sports leaderboard.
