Sweden's gambling authority issued immediate prohibitions to Lufilight and Immortal Snail, after concluding their online gambling offers were aimed at people in Sweden without a local licence.
The two orders, dated 28 October, identify three Lufilight brands, Ivibet, Hellspin and Slotsgem and Immortal Snail's duel.com. They prohibit the companies from providing gambling in Sweden without the required licence. Neither order announces a fine.
At its inspection, Spelinspektionen found the three Lufilight domains redirected to mirror sites.
Those sites displayed Sweden and the +46 country code as preselected registration details for visitors with Swedish IP addresses.
The authority also found Swedish-language affiliate promotion. In a follow-up, it observed that the mirror domains had changed but the Swedish settings and marketing remained.
Lufilight was given opportunities to respond during the investigation but submitted no comments, according to the decision. The regulator attempted test purchases but did not complete them. It concluded that the redirects did not alter which company was operating the sites or whether the gambling was aimed at Sweden.
In Immortal Snail's case, the authority found Swedish language and krona options in the duel.com payment flow, alongside advertising on Swedish-language sites. Immortal Snail said it intended to block Swedish IP addresses and argued that it could not control the currency used for payments.
At a 28 October follow-up check, the regulator found no block in place and said Swedish and SEK options were still available from a Swedish IP address.
Under Sweden's current licensing rules, the authority examines whether an online offer is directed at the national market. Its findings in these cases rest on the sites' local registration, payment and marketing features.
Spelinspektionen said both orders should take immediate effect because of consumer protection concerns.
The enforcement comes against a licensed-market share that Spelinspektionen estimated at 84% of competitive gambling in 2025, down from 85% in 2024. It separately estimated that 94% of players used licensed operators. Sweden introduced its licensing regime in 2019 to bring online gambling under public oversight.
A March report outlined measures to keep Swedish players from unlicensed sites, including access restrictions and payment controls. That policy discussion preceded the two operator-specific orders.
