Spelinspektionen says Duel.com kept Swedish-language content & SEK payments despite holding no local licence.
The hit
Sweden’s gambling regulator, Spelinspektionen, has banned Duel.com, operated by Immortal Snail LLC, over claims it illegally targets Swedish players. The regulator says the site kept Swedish-language content & let users pay in Swedish kronor despite holding no local licence. Duel.com has no Swedish licence to revoke, & GamblingNews notes it’s unclear how the ban could be enforced.
Why it matters
For anyone using Duel.com from Sweden, the ban signals the regulator views the site as operating illegally. Immortal Snail argued Swedish is an international language & said Sweden should rely on IP blocking instead, according to the regulator’s filing.
The record
| Regulator | Spelinspektionen, Sweden’s Gambling Authority |
|---|---|
| Operator banned | Duel.com |
| Registered address | Charlestown, Nevis, Saint Kitts & Nevis |
| Claimed licence | Anjouan gambling licence No. ALSI-202411026-FI1 (Union of the Comoros) |
What happens next
Whether Spelinspektionen can actually enforce the ban remains an open question, given Duel.com holds no Swedish licence to revoke.
