Svenska Spel has published the interim report for the second quarter of 2025.

The second quarter is stable with growth for Eurojackpot and Oddset. The last Casino Cosmopol has been closed after the Riksdag’s decision on a legislative change that means that land-based casinos will no longer be offered in Sweden. The challenges for the Vegas slot machines remain, which negatively affects the group’s revenue.

“We have a clear focus on the group’s strategic goals: to have the gaming market’s most satisfied customers, ensure that our customers play healthily with us and drive long-term sustainable growth. Within the first two target areas, the customer satisfaction index and the share of healthy revenues are at a stable and high level. In terms of sustainable growth, net gaming revenues for both Eurojackpot and Oddset increased during the quarter,” said Anna Johnson, President and CEO of Svenska Spel.

On April 25, Casino Cosmopol in Stockholm was closed due to the legislative change that comes into force at the turn of the year, which means that land-based casinos may no longer be offered. Svenska Spel decided to liquidate after receiving a changed ownership instruction, and the liquidation is now underway in an orderly manner, while the sales process for the unique property on Kungsgatan has been initiated.

The Group’s net gaming revenue for the quarter is SEK 1839 million, an increase of SEK 2 million. The Luck business area has growth, while revenue is negatively impacted by continued challenges for Vending Machines and strengthened responsible gaming measures.

Net gaming revenue for the Luck business area increased by 2% compared to the same quarter last year. Eurojackpot continues to be the growth engine in the lottery portfolio. Large jackpots and high winnings have a positive impact on sales. A clear example is that Eurojackpot broke a sales record during the quarter, not long after last quarter’s big win of SEK 1.25 billion. Triss also has a positive development and sales on Mother’s Day exceeded the previous year.

Net gaming revenue for the Sport & Casino business area decreased by 1% compared to the same quarter last year. This was due to the negative impact of strong comparative figures in the previous year, when the European Football Championship contributed to higher revenue. However, within the business area, sports betting continues to grow under the Oddset brand – a growth that continues this quarter. The positive development for sports betting has been continuous since the launch of the new sports betting platform a year ago. The change was well received by customers, which has resulted in a larger customer base, higher customer satisfaction and increasing revenue. During the quarter, major events such as the Ice Hockey World Championship and the Eurovision final also contributed to increased customer activity, especially a clear influx of new customers.

The Vegas business area’s net gaming revenue decreased by 13% due to the continued negative impact of strengthened responsible gaming measures and the challenging economic situation for business partners.

The Group’s operating profit decreased by SEK 113 million or 17% to SEK 545 million and the operating margin amounted to 30%. This is mainly due to the fact that the gambling tax was increased from 18 to 22% on July 1, 2024, which has a negative impact on operating profit.

The Group’s online business continues to grow, up 5% in the quarter compared to the same quarter last year. Online accounted for 62% of the Group’s revenue during the quarter.

More and more customers are discovering the lottery Lyckoplatsen, which was launched in the previous quarter. When playing on Lyckoplatsen, customers can choose to contribute to a good cause by supporting a non-profit organisation. In this case, 10% of the contribution goes to the organisation of the customer’s choice. Collaboration with non-profit partner organisations has been expanded during the quarter, which means that customers now have more organisations to choose from.

During the quarter, Svenska Spel has awarded 78 million-sek prizes on lotteries with a total value of just over SEK 178 million. The highest prize was just over SEK 15 million on Lotto and the second highest prize was just over SEK 12 million on Eurojackpot. Sports and casino games have delivered 26 million-sek prizes during the quarter. The highest prize was over SEK 11 million on Stryktipset.

Gamblers Connect, the award-winning iGaming affiliate and media platform, officially announced the launch of two new partner-focused destinations on its website: the Game Providers section and the B2B Providers section.

These hubs are designed to give verified partners richer exposure, clearer positioning, and a single home for comprehensive company profiles, reviews, and work highlights.

Gamblers Connect has specially curated profiles for official Game Provider partners, featuring company history, entertainment categories, flagship titles, and direct links to online casinos where their games are available. Profiles also showcase notable projects and media mentions, with direct navigation to games, categories, and live operator placements.

The B2B Providers Section provides in-depth profiles and reviews for official B2B partners—covering background, core services, market presence, and notable projects—built to help operators, studios, and peers evaluate capabilities at a glance. Unlike standard directories, these hubs serve as an exclusive showcase, designed to provide clarity, context, and visibility for partners while helping decision-makers connect with the right collaborators.

Gjorgje Ristikj, Founder of Gamblers Connect, said: “These hubs for Game Providers and B2B Companies are not just pages, they are powerful tools that help partners tell their story and reach decision-makers. Our goal is simple: to make it easier for the industry to discover, compare, and connect.”
