Svenska Spel Interim Report January – September 2026: High Customer Engagement Lifts Oddset, Casino and Triss

The year continues positively for Svenska Spel. In the third quarter, growth was driven by high customer engagement, with strong development for Oddset, casino and Triss. The company continues to strengthen its customer offering and have taken important steps in developing Svenska Spel’s brand.

“Growth in the Swedish gaming market is moderate, while competition for customers is fierce. Against this background, it is a statement of strength that we are taking market shares in both the license and lottery markets during the first half of 2026. During the third quarter, the positive development continues with growth and good profitability. This shows that our focus on sustainable growth is paying off,” said Anna Johnson, President and CEO of Svenska Spel.

“Our sports betting business continues to perform strongly. We exceeded our World Cup goals in the closing weeks of July, with high customer activity all the way to the final. In addition to successful activities and offers to customers, it is clear that our partnership with the Swedish Football Association strengthens the business and is an important part of an attractive customer offering.”
