Coming into force on July 1st, 2023, the new rules mean that companies will now have to hold a gaming software permit in order to distribute content in the country.
The move is a significant one for the provider, with Sweden being one of Wazdan’s core markets – proven by their six recent nominations at the upcoming BSG Nordic Awards 2023, with three being for the Nordics.

With over 100 top-performing titles such as 9 Coins™, Hot Slot™: 777 Rubies and Hot Slot™: Mystery Jackpot Joker available alongside engagement- boosting mechanics such as Hold the Jackpot, the granting of the B2B licence continues to strengthen Wazdan’s position in the Nordic market. It further highlights Wazdan’s commitment to regulated markets, with it currently holding more than 20 licences and certifications worldwide, from New Jersey to the Netherlands. Michal Imiolek, CEO at Wazdan, said: “We’re delighted to have been granted a B2B supplier permit by the Swedish Gambling Authority and we thank them for a swift, smooth process.
