Evolution to partner with Svenska Spel in new Swedish gambling market

According to Evolution, the new Svenska Spel Live Casino service will go live the moment Sweden’s new gambling law comes into effect on 1 January 2019.

Svenska Spel will have access to Evolution’s full portfolio of live games, including exclusive Poker variants and exclusive side bets.

Svenska Spel is Sweden's largest gaming company and includes such well-known brands as Lotto, Triss, Stryktipset, Oddset, Vegas and Casino Cosmopol. The state-owned Svenska Spel’s mandate is based on protecting the customer by delivering attractive games in a responsible manner. The company’s vision is that gaming is for everyone´s enjoyment.

Svenska Spel Sport & Casino MD Fredrik Wastenson commented: “We naturally carried out a thorough market review with regard to our choice of Live Casino partner. We are confident that Evolution Gaming offers the very best solution for Svenska Spel and its current and future players. Evolution’s world-class Live Casino will mean not only the best possible choice of live games for our players, but also highly enjoyable and secure gaming experiences.”

Martin Carlesund, Group CEO at Evolution Gaming, said: “This a truly ground-breaking agreement between our two companies, both of which are very deeply rooted in Sweden. Sweden is a key market for Evolution, and we are honoured to have been selected by such a big name in that market as Svenska Spel.”

Sebastian Johannisson, Evolution’s Chief Commercial Officer, added: “We are proud of our market leading Live Casino solutions and content, and we are confident of their ability to bring excitement and joy to existing and new Svenska Spel customers. We are looking forward very much to 2019 and to helping Svenska Spel maximise its opportunities in the new re-regulated market.”
