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.
The ambition now is to uphold the Swedish channelization, i.e. that Swedish gamblers choose licensed gambling companies. If Sweden only wanted, it could be world leading in uniting safe gambling with a flourishing industry that gives back to society.
