Unibet announced a new partnership with SEF

Swedish Elite Football (SEF) and Unibet present a new collaboration where more than 1,000 active professional football players and coaches will take online training courses regarding player responsibility and safer gambling. Unibet, part of Kindred Group, is one of the main partners to SEF and the training is a part of the sponsorship agreement for the two Swedish leagues, Allsvenskan and Superettan.

Can Unibet Approach Bring Change to Swedish Betting Issues?

The training will take place after the current season has ended and the Integrity Officer of each club will have the responsibility to ensure that the training is carried out. All 32 male football clubs in the Allsvenskan and Superettan leagues will participate.

Philip Lagström, Country Manager Unibet Sweden, said: “During our partnership with Swedish Elite Football (SEF), we have made several efforts to fight match-fixing and harmful gambling. This training is only one example of the work we do with SEF, and we will continue our great efforts throughout the contract period. Unibet wants a sustainable gambling industry, and our ambition is to reach zero per cent revenue derived from harmful gambling by 2023.”

Anders Wikström, League Integrity Officer at Swedish Elite Football, mentioned: “For some individuals, in society as well as within the athletic environment, gambling can, unfortunately, become a problem. The online training contains a self-assessment where by answering certain questions, you get insight into your current gambling behaviour. Something that we see as a very important measure. The training also contains contact information for those who feel that they might be in a harmful situation, which provides us with reassurance.”

Unibet needs no introduction, even for newbies, after 20+ years of experience in the betting industry. The brand provides exceptional services in strategically regulated markets, like Australia and Italy, licensed by MGA and UKGC, among other local permits. The massive range of 40+ sports, 250,000 yearly events, and 10,000 monthly ones secures several alternative options for their million bettors. The odds for high-profile leagues, like the English Premier League and the NBA, create an attractive Sportsbook alongside handy features like Live Streaming, Bet Builder, Request A Bet, and Cash Out. The Live Chat is available 24/7, and the website offers 15 languages. However, I have noticed that the in-play prices and the odds for secondary and lower-tier leagues have a downfall, while the absences of Partial/Auto Cash Out and Quick Bet services are notable. The winning limits are high, and the payment methods offer alternatives, but two significant drawbacks are the need for cryptocurrencies and a quicker response to E-mail requests. I also firmly believe that the app is one of the most modern in the industry. Overall, Unibet is a safe bookmaker, ideal for recreational bettors, with several valuable services for them.
