Key indicators for responsible gaming

According to the gaming survey that Svenska Spel compiles through a postal survey sent to randomly selected individuals aged 18–75. Some 4,583 questionnaires were responded to in 2013. Svenska Spel has chosen to change its method for measuring gaming problems, these will be reported in 2015.

According to an image survey conducted by Norstat’s web panel with 3,000 interviewees aged 18–75. The wording of the questions was changed in 2013.

All gaming retailers and business partners must complete and pass Svenska Spel’s interactive responsible gaming training course.

Test purchases of Svenska Spel’s products are conducted at business partners and retailers. Under the agreement with Svenska Spel, retailers must inspect the identification card of all gaming customers under 25 and business partners must inspect those of gaming customers under 25. Young individuals (aged 18–19) who are recruited by external suppliers conduct the test purchases to ensure that identity cards are inspected.

Sanction scale in the event of non-approved test purchases as of August 2014:
1st test purchase: Warning issued.
2nd test purchase: Shut down for two weeks.
3rd test purchase: Contract terminated.
In 2014, the sanction scale was changed for both retailers and business partners, who now have the same sanction scale. Previously, contracts were terminated after failing the fourth test purchase. For business partners, contracts were terminated in previous years after failing the second and third test purchases, which explains the reduction in terminated contracts in 2014.
