Online compliance courses for Swedish operators


S


MP eGaming and Nordic Gambling have jointly announced the launch of the first online compliance courses tailored specifically for gambling operators in Sweden. They are being delivered via the SMP Compliance Academy platform, the market-leader in eLearning software for the global gambling industry. The three new courses cover anti-money laundering (AML),


responsible gambling (RG), and the regulatory framework and


environment in Sweden. The content has been developed by the legal and regulatory experts at Nordic Gambling, the most prolific legal firm


engaged in the preparation of licences for gambling operators in the region. Their specialist market knowledge has been combined with that of SMP eGaming, which has been offering tailored eLearning to the sector via its hugely successful Compliance Academy product for several years. Maria McDonald, Partner at Nordic Gambling, said: “As the regulated Nordic gambling markets continue to grow, it’s essential that operators encourage and maintain high compliance standards. By offering our expertise in an online course


format, powered by SMP’s software, we’re able to help operators instil a culture of compliance amongst all their staff, reducing organisational risk and improving outcomes for players.”


Jade Zorab, Head of Corporate Development at SMP eGaming said: “’We’ve seen the positive impact that


eLearning can have for operators and the players that put their trust in them and we are committed to expanding our already extensive suite of courses into new jurisdictions. Sweden now joins the UK, Isle of Man, Malta, and Gibraltar in the list of jurisdictions we have tailored content for, with more on the horizon.”
