Snabbare SEK 5.5M AML fee upheld: Allegations, Court Orders and Status

What this case is about

The Förvaltningsrätten i Linköping upheld a warning and a SEK 5,500,000 sanction fee against Snabbare Ltd, part of the ComeOn Group, in case 5474-25 on 2 July 2026. Snabbare appealed a decision of the Swedish gambling regulator Spelinspektionen dated 28 May 2025.

The dispute is about anti-money-laundering controls. The regulator relied on the gambling act (spellagen) and the money laundering act (penningtvättslagen). The case is tracked among Regulators and Attorneys General in Court.

Who is covered

The ruling concerns one licensed operator and its regulator. It is not a class action and it covers no players. The regulator publishes the judgment as a PDF on its own website, and that document is the primary source for this page.

It matters to operators licensed in Sweden, because it shows how the court reads the duty to monitor customers and to document the source of funds. The regulator's other cases are in Spelinspektionen Lawsuits.

Is there a payout?

No payout exists in this case. The SEK 5,500,000 is a regulatory sanction fee that the operator owes, not compensation for players.

The record shows no fund, settlement or claim process for consumers.

What the court decided

As of 14 November 2026 the controlling decision is the judgment of 2 July 2026. The court upheld the warning and the fee in full. Further appeal steps are not shown in the record.

Snabbare argued three points:

• Its monitoring and income checks were sufficient.
• The "closed loop" nature of re-used winnings reduced the risk.
• More documentation would conflict with data protection law.

The court disagreed. It treated those arguments as not enough to set the fee aside.

Why it matters

The judgment is one of the 2026 Swedish decisions on anti-money-laundering fees. It rejects the argument that data protection law limits how much documentation an operator must collect.

Snabbare has been before the same court before. Of the eight under-18 betting judgments issued on 1 April 2020, two were upheld in full and five were reduced by about 10%.

In the first enforcement wave after the 2019 re-regulation, the Linköping court reduced its under-18 betting sanction by about 10% on 1 April 2020. See Gambling Lawsuits in Sweden for more.

Questions people ask

How large was the Snabbare fine?

SEK 5,500,000, together with a warning, decided by Spelinspektionen on 28 May 2025. The Linköping court upheld both on 2 July 2026.

Why did Snabbare appeal?

It argued that its monitoring, income checks and the closed loop of re-used winnings were sufficient, and that more documentation would conflict with data protection law. The court rejected those arguments.

Do players get anything from this fine?

No. It is a penalty for the operator, and the record shows no consumer fund, settlement or claim process.
