Reading Time: 2 minutes
Global Gaming’s Board of Directors has appointed Tobias Fagerlund as the new President and CEO of Global Gaming with immediate effect from today, July 2nd, 2019. Tobias has been the company’s Acting CEO since April 29, 2019.
Peter Eidensjö, Chairman of Global Gaming, said: “It is with pleasure and complete confidence that we confirm Tobias Fagerlund as President and CEO of Global Gaming. His long experience of both the industry and change management, coupled with his deep understanding of our current situation and the fact he possesses the personal qualities required by the situation, clearly make him the right person to shoulder the great responsibility and challenge entailed by being the CEO of Global Gaming in the future.”
Only two weeks ago, the Swedish Gambling Authority unexpectedly revoked the licences held by one of the company’s Maltese subsidiaries for the provision of online gambling services in the Swedish market. The decision was appealed and is currently in the appeal process.
Of his new role and the company’s situation, Tobias Fagerlund commented: “It is with confidence and humility that I have agreed to take on this role. I would have naturally preferred to be appointed under different circumstances, but I have no reservations in accepting it. I have a great deal of faith in Global Gaming and stand by what I have said in recent weeks: the regulator’s decision to revoke our licences is incorrect and disproportionate. We are confident that we are compliant with the requirements of the Swedish legislation, and I have faith in the judicial process and look forward to its outcome.
“The current situation is damaging to us, our customers, our employees and approximately 6,000 shareholders for every day that goes by. We will do everything in our power to restore as much confidence as possible in us, in order to be able to offer our brands to our customers in Sweden again soon.”
Tobias will remain a member of the company’s Board of Directors.

A joint Nordic research project is now mapping gambling habits and gambling problems – 150,000 people in the Nordic region are participating in the sample.
The Nordic countries Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark have launched a unique joint research project on gambling: the Pan-Nordic Gambling Study (PANG). The aim is to gather comparable knowledge about gambling habits and gambling problems in the region – something that has been lacking so far. From Sweden, the Public Health Agency, which is responsible for the assignment, and the Swedish Gambling Authority have participated in the work of developing the study.
The study includes, among other things, the prevalence of gambling, participation in different forms of gambling, differences between licensed and unlicensed gambling, and the connection between gambling and health.
“The study will provide a basis for assessing gambling and gambling problems in the Nordic countries. It will be exciting to compare the results with previous Swedish data and with the rest of the Nordic countries, especially since so few similar joint surveys have been conducted in Europe,” says Maria Vinberg, investigator at the Swedish Gambling Authority.
Data collection will now begin in November 2025, when approximately 30,000 randomly selected people in each country will have the opportunity to participate in the survey. The results of the survey will be published in a joint report in spring 2026 and will constitute an important knowledge base for research and future decisions in the field of gambling.
