Gustaf Hoffstedt
Secretary General BOS
Secretary General for the Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling. The Association represents 22 gambling companies that hold EU licences and target Swedish consumers.
I have devoted a large share of my professional life to work towards a gambling market with fair conditions for the individual consumer and for the industry as a whole. The introduction of gambling licenses in 2019 was an important milestone.
