The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Swedish gambling regulator, Spelinspektionen.

The document outlines how the two national regulators will work together towards better implementation of regulatory provisions in their jurisdictions.

Commenting on the development UKGC chief executive, Neil McArthur, said:

“We have excellent relations with other gambling regulators from across the world and our new link up with the Swedish Gambling Authority will give more opportunities to share good practice on a whole host of regulatory issues, cooperate closely and take shared action where appropriate,”

While Director-General of Spelinspektionen, Camilla Rosenberg, added:

“This is an important agreement for us. We have a common interest in many areas. By opening the communication channels between the authorities we become stronger in our supervisory activities. This is the beginning of broad and long-term cooperation. Earlier this year we have entered an MoU with Malta Gaming Authority and Gibraltar Gambling Division,”
