According to Spelinspektionen, L&L Europe Limited breached responsibility regulations.
Spelinspektionen, the Swedish gambling regulator, has issued a reprimand to L&L Europe Limited. The company was also fined SEK 80,000 (€7,500) for responsibility failings. According to the regulator, it reviewed L&L Europe’s websites. The review found breaches of the company’s duty to provide information to consumers.
The review found that all of the operator’s Sweden-facing websites were missing required information to varying degrees. The telephone number and email address of the licensees were missing from home pages. Moreover, many websites also failed to provide information about the risks associated with gambling.
The review covered six gaming sites. These are www.casinocasino.com, www.funcasino.com, www.hypercasino.com, www.nobonuscasino.com, www.racecasino.com, and www.yeticasino.com. All six sites were missing the company registration number, telephone number, and email address. They also lacked information about the licence period and Spelinspektionen as the supervisory authority.
Five of the websites were missing information about the risks associated with gambling for money. Additionally, the homepage of www.racecasino.com lacked contact details for an independent gambling-help helpline.
The regulator also found that the logos were not placed in a locked field. However, links to self-tests, deposit limits, and suspension options still appeared at the top of the sites.
L&L Europe has since addressed all of the deficiencies. Yet, the Spelinspektionen ruled that a fine was appropriate for systemic breaches of sections 7 and 8 of its regulations, as well as general advice or LIFS 2018:5 on commercial online gaming and betting and section 17 of its regulations and general advice or LIFS 2018:2 on gambling responsibility.
The regulator set the sanction fee based on the licensee’s turnover in the preceding financial year. L&L Europe stated that its net turnover for the 2024 financial year totalled SEK 12.8 million.
