LeoVegas investigated by Swedish authorities

7 Jun 2022

LeoVegas investigated by Swedish authorities The online bookmaker LeoVegas is "fully assisting" Swedish Economic Crime Authority after being contacted on June 7 during a preliminary investigation of suspected insider trading.

According to the operator, no employee, management team member, or board member in the Company has been notified about any criminal suspicion, and it cannot provide any more information currently.

The probe comes almost a month after the US casino operator MGM Resorts announced that it plans to buy LeoVegas for $607m (€575m). Before the purchase, the Swedish firm cooperated with MGM Resorts for a due diligence review in connection with the offer and added that it had "taken a number of factors into account".

Some factors include but are not limited to, the Company's present strategic and financial position and its expected potential future development and related opportunities and risks. The purchase is part of MGM's strategic objective to create an online gaming business with a global reach.

LeoVegas holds licenses in eight jurisdictions focusing on Scandinavia and mainland Europe.

LeoVegas Sport is slightly new in the sportsbook industry, but they already knew that they had to follow the steps of their successful casino heritage. They mainly target the Nordic market, but I would like to see them broaden their reach even more. The bookie's impressive improvement is shown through the doubling of its depositors within a 12month time frame, reaching 200.000 active customers. The odds, especially in Premier League, can be compared to Bet365's and as it was expected, the mobile services are their powerhouse, while Kambi's presence as the creator of the platform guarantees stability. LeoVegas will have to add more payment methods to be more flexible and speed up the slow withdrawal process. Although they have to work more on the live betting part, they are a book that's definitely a keeper.

Bookmakers rating

In order to correctly estimate a bookmakers rating, you have to include the value of the offered odds, the variety and speed of transactions as well as their customer support. The invaluable experience we have gained from cooperating with some of the most respected betting firms, has shown us that each customer deserves a strict but fair judgement on every bookmaker.

Odds comparison

The average payout for most major football leagues stands at 95%, but a curious player may often find profitable opportunities. Pinnacle offers quite a lot of them, with the average payout on some of the top leagues standing at a huge 98%, while 1xbet offers the highest spreads on every major league.

Mobile Betting

Mobile betting is spreading to such an extent that it will soon exceed the common way of wagering through a personal computer. It currently stands at a huge 30%, with the market's trend showing that it will overlap computers by 2018.

Bonus

Every bookmaker will offer bonuses and promotions, to new and existing members. They can range from a standard 100% sign up bonus to a cash back event from a major football event, such as a moneyback offer on the UEFA Champions League Final. You can find every single detail about any betting company's bonus and promotion on our website as well as compare bookmakers based on their betting bonus. Make sure to regularly check the bonus & promo sections to receive information concerning any new offers.

Trust

Although it might seem tempting to sign up to an unverified bookmaker that offers profitable odds, or even no commision, in most cases you will be caught in a scam and lose all your money. It is far prefferable to choose a well known and respected bookmaker, that has obtained a license under a strict regulatory body. This way, you can be easily assisted through a full customer support and rest assured that you can withdraw your money at any time.
