\"Sweden\"Sweden imposed a number of stringent regulations on the iGaming industry in light of COVID-19<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Those restrictions did not go down well with iGaming operators who felt that they were too harsh and would hurt both them and the iGaming market in the country.<\/p>\n

Branschf\u00f6reningen f\u00f6r Onlinespel<\/strong> (BOS) which is the Trade Association for Online Gambling in Sweden protested those changes but it fell on deaf ears as the government was adamant that these changes would offer better protection to Swedish players<\/a> during the COVID-19 lockdown.<\/p>\n

Stefan L\u00f6fven<\/strong>, the Prime Minister of Sweden announced on June 28 that he had submitted his resignation<\/a> in light of the no confidence motion that came from Riksdag \u2013 which is the highest decision making assembly in the country. <\/p>\n
