Wazdan, the innovative games provider, has received a B2B supplier permit to operate in Sweden following the introduction of new regulations by the Swedish Gambling Authority (SGA).

Coming into force on July 1st, 2023, the new rules mean that companies will now have to hold a gaming software permit in order to distribute content in the country.

The move is a significant one for the provider, with Sweden being one of Wazdan’s core markets – proven by their six recent nominations at the upcoming BSG Nordic Awards 2023, with three being for the Nordics.

It further highlights Wazdan’s commitment to regulated markets, with it currently holding more than 20 licences and certifications worldwide, from New Jersey to the Netherlands.

Michal Imiolek, Chief Executive Officer at Wazdan, said: “We’re delighted to have been granted a B2B supplier permit by the Swedish Gambling Authority and we thank them for a swift, smooth process.
