Online Casino Trustdice.win Blocked in Sweden for Licensing Violations
Reasons for the Block
On April 10, 2025, the Swedish Gambling Authority (Spelinspektionen) prohibited access to the Trustdice.win website within Sweden.
The website’s operator, Satoshi Gaming Group N.V., registered in Curaçao, was offering gambling services without a Swedish license, which violates local legislation.
Violations Identified by Spelinspektionen
During the investigation, the regulator found the following violations:
- The site had an interface and terms in Swedish.
- Privacy policies and the FAQ section were also in Swedish.
- Marketing materials, including advertisements, were targeted at a Swedish audience.
- Swedish users could freely register and create accounts.
These facts indicate that Trustdice.win was actively targeting players in Sweden without the required license.
Operator’s Response
Satoshi Gaming Group N.V. claimed it had taken measures to block access for Swedish users, including IP address restrictions.
However, Spelinspektionen found that access to the site was still possible from certain Swedish IP addresses.
The company also stated its intention to remove Swedish content, but no timeline for these actions was provided.
Consequences and Legal Framework
According to Swedish law, offering gambling services without a license is prohibited.
Spelinspektionen has the authority to immediately ban operators who violate the rules.
In the case of Trustdice.win, the ban took effect immediately upon the decision.
