Two Hillside companies have lost their appeals against Swedish sanctions. The Court of Appeal (kammarrätten) upheld a warning for each of Hillside (Gaming) ENC and Hillside (Sports) ENC, with sanction fees of SEK 4 million and SEK 40 million respectively, Spelinspektionen, the Swedish Gambling Authority, said on 14 October 2026.

The details

  • The finding: the court agreed with the administrative court (förvaltningsrätten) that both companies committed serious breaches of the duty of care (omsorgsplikten) and of the rules on deposit limits.
  • The penalty: it also agreed that a warning combined with a sanction fee is a proportionate response to the breaches.
  • The outcome: the court rejected both companies’ appeals.
  • Not stated: the announcement does not say which brands they operate or what the specific failures were.

The big picture

The only other Spelinspektionen sanction recorded in The Payout, our sanctions database, is a SEK 150,000 fine on Sportalliansen Sverige, for ticket information and technical failures.

What’s next

The announcement does not say whether the companies can appeal further.
