Casino Bonuses in Sweden: Easy, Licensed & Legal in 2026

Gambling such as lottery tickets, bingo, online casino and sports betting is legal and regulated in Sweden. Operators must apply for- and be granted a license by Spelinspektionen (The Swedish Gambling Authority).

Online casinos and betting sites with a license should always display the Spelinspektionen logo, license number and company ID in the footer of their websites. A list of all licensed operators can be found on Spelinspektionen's website.

Foreigners can play at Swedish online casinos provided that they:

1. Are registered as a resident in Sweden
2. Have received a personal number from Skatteverket
3. Have an online banking account
4. Have the BankID verification app connected to their bank

As of 2025, there are no legal landbased casinos left in the country. While you might encounter bingo halls and the odd slot machines at a pizza joint, the closest thing you can get to a "real" casino is by going on a cruise ship in the Baltic Sea.

Being a Swedish citizen is not a requirement for playing at online casinos in Sweden. BankID and a personal number however is required, neither of which can be obtained before registering as a resident in the country.

In order to play online casino in Sweden you need to register as a resident in the country and obtain a personal number, online bank account and the BankID verification app.

To signup and play at a casino, players will need to:

• Visit a casino and click Spela/Bli medlem/Öppna konto
• Type in their personal number and verify with BankID or
• Scan the QR-code with BankID to verify their identity
• Type in any additional details required
• Make a first deposit using an available method

The payment method Trustly is available to everyone having an online banking account. It is free, quick and considered very safe.

No. As long as you visit a casino granted a Swedish license from Spelinspektionen (the Swedish Gambling Authority), all wins are tax free. According to Swedish law, the casinos are taxed on their profits instead of the players on their winnings.

A Swedish phone number is only required for users wanting to deposit/withdraw money using the payment methods Swish or Zimpler, but not in order to sign up.

Almost all Swedish online casinos accept payments by Trustly or card. Swish and Zimpler are other popular methods available for users that have a Swedish phone number.

Other valid payment methods include but are not limited to: Apple Pay, Skrill, Neteller and PaysafeCard.

Follow the above links to our toplists containing operators with the mentioned payment methods.

According to the Swedish gambling regulation, players are required to set their own personal limits for how much they can deposit on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Many casinos also offer an option for players to set a personal loss-limit.

There are no limits to how much players can win, and historical jackpot wins have paid out amounts over 100 million SEK.

Different casinos may allow different maximum withdrawal sizes. If a win is particularly large, it may be divided into multiple transactions. Such details are always specified in the terms and conditions.

Visit and sign up with a casino in our toplist. Make sure that you choose an operator you have not played with before, and that your pick does not share their license with an operator you already signed up with.

Click/tick/cross/check the welcome offer you would like to take part of, double check what the "minsta insättning" (minimum deposit) is for the bonus, and make sure that you deposit at least that amount.

Most bonuses appear on your account right away, though some might require activation on your account, usually under your profile or a tab called "Mina erbjudanden". Make sure to contact the customer support before you start playing if you don't receive your bonus.

Wagering requirements, also known as turnover requirements, tells the player how many times he or she needs to wager the bonus before being able to withdraw their winnings. Let's look at an example:

• You deposit 200 SEK and claim a 100% matched deposit
• You now have 400 SEK on your account
• The wagering requirement is 20x
• You need to wager 20 x 200 = 4000 SEK in order to make a withdrawal

Keep in mind that

A. Everything you wager counts, regardless if the spin/round results in a win or a loss. You do not have to lose 4000 SEK.

B. Some casinos apply the waging requirements on both the deposit and the bonus. In the above example, the result would be 20x (deposit) plus 20x (bonus) equals 40x total. We always add these numbers up and show the true wagering requirements in our toplists.

Very few betting- or casino operators in Sweden require bonus codes in order to claim the welcome offer. In most cases, everything is automated. For a complete list of all betting sites and casinos that require bonus codes, click here.

Spelinspektionen, formerly known as Lotteriinspektionen, is the national government agency tasked with overseeing the licensing, safety, legality and reliability of gambling operators in Sweden. The agency is commonly refered to as the Swedish Gambling Authority in English.

Spelpaus.se is a government self-exclusion registry where players can block their own access to all types of licensed gambling in the country. The verification apps BankID or Freja eID are required to sign up. Users can block access for 1, 3 or 6 months, or until further notice.
