Swedish Government Appointed Marcus Isgren as Investigator of Swedish Gambling Act Review

The Swedish Government has appointed Marcus Isgren, chairman and head of the Swedish Board of Consumer Complaints (ARN), as Investigator of Swedish Gambling Act Review.

The Gambling Act of 2018 established the framework for the regulation of competitive online gambling in Sweden from January 2019. However, studies have suggested that player protection measures have been insufficient, while the wording has also allowed some unlicensed gaming operators to go unchallenged. Isgren must deliver a report by September 17.

Sweden’s licensed gambling operators will hope to have Isgren’s ear as he begins the review. The online gambling industry association Branschföreningen för Onlinespel (BOS) has called for the government to close what it describes as loopholes in the 2018 Gambling Act that prevent action against unlicensed operators that don’t use the Swedish language or currency.

This month, a Swedish court quashed an injunction issued by the national gambling regulator Spelinspektionen against the payment provider Zimpler due to a lack of “concreteness” in the definition of illegal gambling offerings. It noted that the wording of the Gambling Act states that operators are only deemed to be targeting Swedish players if they use the Swedish language or list the Swedish Krona.

Launching the review, Minister for Financial Markets, Niklas Wykman, said that clamping down on the black market would be a priority for the review.

“We will do this by amending the Gambling Act so that it becomes more appropriate. This is one of the single most important measures for a safer and healthier gambling market,” he said.

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) today warned the public about an alarming scam operation in which fraudsters are impersonating its top executives to deceive individuals and businesses.
The state gaming agency said several individuals and business owners have complained that they received fraudulent Viber messages that falsely claim to be from Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco and President and COO Wilma Eisma.
Scammers are using mobile numbers maliciously registered under the top executives’ names, specifically +63951-7359836 for Mr. Tengco and +63938-2857343 for Ms. Eisma to contact potential victims.
“We urge the public to exercise caution and avoid engaging with any unsolicited messages that appear to come from PAGCOR executives,” Mr. Tengco said.
“These fraudulent schemes pose a serious risk to the public; hence, we ask everyone to be vigilant and immediately report any suspicious messages to the authorities, especially those that promise financial windfalls,” the PAGCOR chief added.
Mr. Tengco advised individuals to verify any communication they receive through its official website and other legitimate communication platforms such as PAGCOR’s official trunkline numbers +632 8521-1542 / +632 8522-0299.
Earlier, Mr. Tengco also warned the public against a website that purports to issue gaming licenses and accreditations using fake forms and bogus content.

MightyTips has been shortlisted for the SiGMA Africa Awards 2025 in the Best Sportsbook Affiliate category. The award ceremony will occur in Cape Town, South Africa, on March 10, 2025.

This award highlights and recognises affiliates who successfully drive traffic to online sportsbooks, provide additional insight for sports bettors, and create meaningful collaborations that help boost engagement for all parties.

MightyTips will compete for the Best Sportsbook Affiliate award against industry titans such as Flashscore and Sofascore, among other contenders. A total of 24 awards will be handed out throughout the evening.

MightyTips highlights

The nomination follows a year of growth for the online sports portal. MightyTips provides comprehensive bookmaker reviews and daily free football tips and predictions across various leagues and tournaments, including the English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, and UEFA Champions League, which are highly popular with African audiences. The platform generates consistent African traffic, with Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, and Uganda being the biggest sources.

In 2024, MightyTips expanded its portfolio of multilingual sites to 18 and launched the MightyQs interview series, which illuminates partnerships between sportsbooks and high-profile sports organisations and personas. The latest instalment explores MelBet’s role as the Juventus FC’s Official Regional Partner in Africa and the Middle East.

Another highlight of the year came in September 2024 as MightyTips ambassador, an undefeated pro boxer Jevgenijs “The Hurricane” Aleksejevs claimed the IBO European Middleweight Championship belt, helping to improve the brand’s visibility among sports fans.

Eugene Ravdin, Head of Communications and Marketing at MightyTips, said: “We are thrilled to be nominated for the Best Sportsbook Affiliate at the SiGMA Africa Awards. We are working hard to reach African bettors and are delighted to receive recognition. It is great to see our work and proactive approach rewarded.
