One of the most frequently asked questions is: "Is it legal to play on a casino utan svensk licens if you're in Sweden?"
The short answer is yes—as a Swedish citizen, you’re not breaking any laws by playing on a casino that isn’t licensed in Sweden. The key restriction is that these foreign casinos are not allowed to advertise directly to Swedish residents.
The Swedish Gambling Act only regulates operators—not players. So you're free to choose where to gamble online. However, keep in mind that when you use a casino outside the EU/EEA zone, any winnings may be taxable under Swedish law.
Also, since these platforms don't follow Spelinspektionen guidelines, consumer protections and responsible gambling features vary. It’s your responsibility to choose a reputable and licensed foreign casino.
