Sweden Bans Duel.com Over Alleged Unlicensed Gambling Operations
Summary
Sweden's Gambling Authority, Spelinspektionen, has imposed an immediate ban on Immortal Snail LLC, the company operating Duel.com, for allegedly targeting the Swedish market without a local gambling license. The regulator found that the site offered Swedish as a language and Swedish kronor as a payment currency, and did not block Swedish users from registering. Although the company proposed IP blocking, the regulator found no evidence of additional safeguards and noted that even the proposed measures had not been fully implemented. Duel.com is registered in Nevis and claims to operate under an Anjouan license, raising questions about enforceability. This is not the first controversy for Duel.com; recently, social media platform X accused its founder Ossi Ketola of bribing employees and manipulating account suspensions.
