According to a new study commissioned by BOS, the level of problem gambling in Sweden has significantly decreased since the late 2000s, despite the rapid development of the online segment of the industry.

The report, prepared by economist Ola Nevander, is based on an analysis of data from the last 25 years, including official statistics, government documents, and scientific publications. The results show a steady decline in the share of players facing problematic behavior.

Interestingly, this trend is observed against the backdrop of significant growth in online gambling, increased marketing expenditures by operators, and greater accessibility of technology. This may indicate more effective regulatory measures and player protection tools.
