The company has kept its energetic position in opposition to Swedish domineering operations which saw it launched a land betting shop in Stockholm in disobedience of threats from the gaming authorities. According to Betsson, after a grievance from gaming administrators regarding the shop, the local police started an examination and a fine was enforced. In spite of these threatening moves, Betsson is obstinate that it is running within European Union regulation and aims to maintain the shop open pending positive developments now taking place on the regulatory front.
