The new rules are a complement to the provisions in the Gaming Act and the Gaming Ordinance, and the idea is that they will help to counteract match-fixing, the Swedish Gaming Inspectorate writes in a press release.

There will be a ban on betting on offenses during matches, competitions and tournaments - such as expulsions, warnings and penalties.

In addition, you should not be able to bet on individual performances of players under 18 years of age.

The restrictions apply to football, in addition to the four highest divisions in Sweden or abroad, matches in the Swedish Cup and training matches other than for the national teams (U21 and up).

The new rules only apply to football that is played in Sweden.

As a result of these prohibitions and restrictions, the Swedish Gaming Inspectorate assesses that there will be no reason to influence the outcome of gambling on the Swedish licensed market in the affected areas.

The Swedish Gaming Inspectorate believes that football is a high-risk sport when it comes to match-fixing and that there are special risks with low divisions.

"Surveillance is worse and practitioners do not make money from their sports.

Spelinspektionen has therefore chosen to place special emphasis on football ", writes Spelinspektionen.

"This is another step in the work of minimizing the risks of match-fixing and the threat to the integrity of sport that match-fixing poses," says Nicklas Hjertonsson, unit manager at the Swedish Gaming Inspectorate.
