Hi,

Betfair ended its operations in Sweden on July 16, 2025. The company itself has not specified an exact reason for this decision, but it is believed to be due to increasingly strict regulations and high taxes imposed on gambling companies in Sweden. :upside_down_face:

Since the regulatory reform in 2019, the Swedish Gambling Authority has introduced stricter requirements for licensing, advertising, bonus limitations, and tax management. These factors have likely contributed to Betfair’s decision to withdraw from the Swedish market.

There have been no reports of serious problems withdrawing funds, but it’s important to do so before the final day when access to the account is blocked from Sweden. For the fastest processing, it’s recommended to contact Betfair’s customer support if you have any questions or issues.
