Sweden’s Administrative Court of Appeal is to hear an appeal over the decision to revoke Global Gaming subsidiary SafeEnt’s licence for betting and online gambling.

Global Gaming

The original decision, which came as a hammer blow to Global Gaming, was appealed to the Administrative Court. On November 12, 2019, the decision was made to refuse the appeal.

A further appeal was then made to the Administrative Court of Appeal in Jönköping, which decided to grant a review permit, meaning that the court will decide whether the Swedish Gambling Authority’s decision was correct.

Tobias Fagerlund, Global Gaming’s CEO, said: “We are, of course, relieved that the Administrative Court of Appeal has granted a review permit of the case.

“We hope that the Administrative Court of Appeal will eventually share our opinion that the Swedish Gambling Authority’s decision was disproportionate and incorrect.”
