Magnus Rydeving, an expert providing legal guidance to individuals affected by addiction, noted that the court’s decision, ordering Betsson to reimburse the individual, potentially sets a precedent for similar cases from other victims.

Betsson May Face Other Such LawsuitsĪccording to the court’s decision, Betsson must repay all of the plaintiff’s historical spending and additional compensation for mental distress. This development has significant long-term consequences and follows similar cases in other European jurisdictions. In a landmark ruling by the Swedish Patent and Market Court of Appeal, Betsson, a prominent betting company, has been mandated to refund all losses the plaintiff, a man suffering from a gambling disorder.
