Wazdan Now Certified in the Swedish Market

With a certification from the Swedish regulatory body now official, Wazdan is enabled to offer their games through Swedish operators.

Having been confirmed this month, Wazdan is now fully certified in Sweden and has already begun placing their games through their Swedish partners including Kindred, Mr Green, Hero Gaming and more.

Following in Denmark’s Footsteps

In an effort to liberalize the gambling market and open it up to private sectors, the Swedish Gambling Authority began accepting license applications under a new law, earlier this year. Before opening up to private ventures, the gambling activities were state-owned and under a certain amount of criticism from the European Commission for being monopolized…

…as far as online gambling goes, Swedish citizens had been able to play at online casinos for some time, under EU law. Ultimately, in 2018, the government agreed to be guided by Denmark’s example, which implied quashing the monopoly and opening up the market for private investors.

The Swedish Market Authority is responsible for ensuring the legality, safety and reliability of the nation’s gaming and gambling market. Their role is to provide consumers with the tools for fair gaming by maintaining a transparent and balanced gaming market as well as monitoring and reducing the potentially harmful social effects and black market gambling.

Positive Effects

Opening up the market is not just beneficial for the game producers and developers but for the players too. The main reason for the re-regulation of the gambling market is to create a safer market, especially when it comes to customer protection and game security. Increasing the punishments for illegal gambling activities and match fixing will decrease illegal actions. With increased security, players will be able to pause their s easily.

The timing for Wazdan to be certified could not have been better. This market expansion will allow the developer to debut their online video slot releases, such as Lucky Fish, Relic Hunter and the Book of Faith, Lucky Reels, Space Spins, Magic Stars 5, Space Gem, Juicy Reels and Magic Stars 6 as well as their game of the year, Larry the Leprechaun.

“We are excited to announce our Swedish certification, which allows us to strengthen our position in the Swedish market and expand the reach of our games through our existing operators. The Swedish certification opens up doors for our team to increase what we offer our partners, and also to develop new relationships with operators to bring Wazdan high-quality games to the Swedish players,” says Andrzej Hyla, Head of Sales at Wazdan.
