About BOS

The Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling, or BOS (Branschföreningen för Onlinespel), represents gambling companies and game developers that target Swedish consumers. All of our B2C members hold a Swedish gambling license. This is a prerequisite for membership in BOS and guarantees high quality and responsibility.

Key Issues

• Gambling regulation
• The gambling industry
• Online gambling issues
• Gambling taxation
• Responsible gambling
• Integrity in sports

Online gambling is the fastest growing segment of the Swedish gambling market. It’s a huge business and one of the Internet’s greatest commercial success stories. Against that background, BOS is committed to promoting a well-regulated and non-discriminatory Swedish environment for responsible gambling companies. In so doing, we share the goals of the Swedish gambling legislation:

• A healthy and safe gaming market in which social protection interests and the demand for gambling offers are met under controlled conditions;
• Social protection considerations should be given priority, while the interest for a diverse range of gambling offers, as well as risks of fraud and illegal gambling, are considered.

Core activities

In representing its members’ interests, BOS’s activities include:

• Encouraging high standards of probity, integrity and social responsibility within the industry;
• Working with authority representatives, legislators and other stakeholders to continue to develop the regime that the industry operates within;
• Offering a one stop shop for information and expertise for those seeking to understand the industry;
• Providing a forum for the industry to share knowledge, agree on policies, share resources and adopt strategic responses to common challenges.
