Spelinspektionen Q2 results: Turnover up 1.9% despite Casino Cosmopol closure

Key points:

– Spelinspektionen has released Sweden’s regulated gaming turnover for Q2 2025

– Turnover came to SEK 7.02bn, up 1.9% annually and 5.9% quarter-on-quarter

Spelinspektionen, the Swedish gaming regulator, has released its latest set of industry results.

For Q2, regulated turnover reached SEK 7.02bn ($0.74bn), up from SEK 6.63bn last quarter and SEK 6.89bn this time last year, reflecting growth of 5.9% and 1.9%, respectively.

Of this SEK 7.02bn total, online casino and betting made SEK 4.63bn, up 1.4% year-on-year, while state lottery and cash machine games made SEK 1.42bn, up a notable 10.2%.

State casino games from Casino Cosmopol took a sharp decline, from SEK 33m to SEK 8m, in line with the closure of the final Casino Cosmopol branch, with games for public benefit, including lotteries, also taking a year-on-year tumble, from SEK 893m to SEK 846m.

Hall bingo turnover remained the same year-on-year, and despite decline in Casino Cosmopol, other commercial gaming in Sweden also saw minor growth, from SEK 57m to SEK 63m.

Good to know: The Director General of Spelinspektionen, Camilla Rosenberg, has exited the role after eight years, to take on a role with the nation’s real estate authority 

These results come following reports regarding the nations channelisation rate – or the rate of gameplay done via regulated operators. A report from Spelinspektionen found the rate to be 85%, below the regulator’s 90% goal, with online casino being the primary culprit, with a channelisation rate of just 72-82%.

Many have called out this rate, including the Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling, which wrote a letter in response to an upcoming inquiry that it felt would be inadequate in solving the problem.
