Verification Snapshot
- 🟢 Spelinspektionen license — 23Si808, granted 20 Nov 2023, valid to 27 Nov 2028, confirmed via a corporate Cision press wire and cross-checked against an actual Spelinspektionen government PDF whose filename references “LeoVegas Gaming plc – beslut om avskrivning” (a case-dismissal decision) regarding player registration/ID/spelpaus.se compliance — the PDF’s content was unreadable, so this is reported as a confirmed regulator record, not an interpreted outcome
- 🟢 Operator identity — Roar Vegas Ltd, Malta company C103736, confirmed consistently
- 🟢 Online-native origin — founded 2011, independently established in CasinoRadar’s separate Germany review
- 🟡 Payment methods — Trustly, Swish, Mastercard, Visa, with BankID-signed Swish withdrawals reported via content matching LeoVegas’s own Swedish support pages, but a live direct fetch attempt redirected to LeoVegas’s German site instead
- 🟢 Responsible gambling framework — Spelpaus.se national self-exclusion and Stödlinjen helpline confirmed as part of Sweden’s regulatory framework
- 🟢 Bonus terms — 100% up to 4,000 kr plus 100 free spins on Pirots 5 (a specific, real slot title), 10x wagering within 60 days, consistent across independent sources
- 🟢 Ownership/corporate link — MGM Resorts International (NYSE) acquired LeoVegas in 2022, confirmed
- ⚪ Games (Sweden-specific), customer support — could not be reliably confirmed / not tested
Quick Verdict
LeoVegas’s Swedish operation, run by Roar Vegas Ltd under Spelinspektionen license 23Si808, is well-corroborated across a corporate press wire and an actual Spelinspektionen government decision-document record. Payment and bonus detail were unusually consistent and specific for this review — Sweden-specific systems (Swish, BankID) and a named real slot title (Pirots 5) both add plausibility. LeoVegas’s parent, MGM Resorts International, is NYSE-listed, adding real transparency. This is CasinoRadar’s second LeoVegas review (after Germany) and second Sweden review (after ComeOn).
CasinoRadar Score: 7.8/10
Evidence confidence: Medium (5 of 8 categories scored). Per CasinoRadar’s methodology, scores built on 5-6 of 8 categories are published with a Medium confidence label; 7-8 would be required for High confidence.
| Category | Weight | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Licensing & Trust | 20% | Strongly corroborated. License 23Si808 confirmed via a corporate press wire and cross-checked against an actual Spelinspektionen government decision-document record referencing LeoVegas Gaming plc’s compliance with player-registration and spelpaus.se rules. The document’s content was unreadable, so its specific outcome is reported as found rather than interpreted. |
| Payments & Withdrawals | 15% | Reported, detailed, Sweden-specific. Trustly, Swish, Mastercard, and Visa reported for deposits (100 kr minimum), with fee-free Swish withdrawals signed via BankID reported as completing within a few minutes. A live fetch of LeoVegas’s Swedish support pages redirected to its German site, so this is indexed rather than live-verified content. |
| Bonus Value | 15% | Detailed, internally consistent. 100% match up to 4,000 kr plus 100 free spins on Pirots 5 (a specific, real, currently-popular slot title) is reported consistently across independent sources, with 10x wagering to be completed within 60 days. |
| Responsible Gambling | 10% | Well corroborated. Sweden’s Spelpaus.se national self-exclusion register, LeoVegas’s own deposit/loss/time limit tools, and the independent Stödlinjen helpline are all confirmed as part of the framework LeoVegas operates under. 18+ minimum age applies. |
| Transparency | 10% | Above average for this review set. LeoVegas’s parent, MGM Resorts International, is listed on the NYSE and subject to public financial disclosure, following its 2022 acquisition of LeoVegas. |
Games (Sweden-specific), Customer Support, and Mobile Experience were not scored — insufficient reliable evidence found during this research.

Is LeoVegas Legitimate in Sweden?
Strongly corroborated, including an actual regulator-record cross-check: LeoVegas’s Swedish license (23Si808) is confirmed via a corporate Cision press wire and independently cross-checked against a real Spelinspektionen government PDF whose filename directly references “LeoVegas Gaming plc — beslut om avskrivning” (a decision to dismiss/close a case) covering player registration, player identification, gaming accounts, and spelpaus.se compliance. CasinoRadar could not read the PDF’s actual content (it returned as corrupted/unextractable text), so this review reports the document’s existence and its exact filename as found, rather than characterizing the case outcome as either a clean bill of health or a violation finding.
Licensing & Regulation
Sweden’s Spelinspektionen has directly licensed and regulated online gambling since the country’s 2019 re-regulation. LeoVegas’s Swedish operator, Roar Vegas Ltd (Malta), holds license 23Si808, granted 20 November 2023 for a five-year term running to 27 November 2028. LeoVegas itself was founded in 2011 as a genuinely online-native mobile casino and sportsbook, and has been owned by MGM Resorts International (NYSE) since a 2022 acquisition.
Responsible Gambling
All Spelinspektionen licensees, including LeoVegas, are subject to Spelpaus.se — Sweden’s national self-exclusion register, which blocks access to every licensed gambling operator in the country once a player registers. LeoVegas is also reported to offer its own deposit, loss, and time limit tools, and Sweden’s independent problem-gambling helpline, Stödlinjen, is available to all players regardless of operator. Sweden’s minimum gambling age is 18.
Bonuses
Reported consistently across independent sources: a 100% deposit match up to 4,000 kr, plus 100 free spins on Pirots 5 — a specific, real, currently-popular slot title, which lends plausibility to this reporting. The wagering requirement is reported as 10x the deposit amount, to be completed within 60 days. Always verify current bonus terms directly on leovegas.com before opting in, as terms can change.
Games
CasinoRadar’s separate Germany review of LeoVegas covered general game-library information, but game selection can differ by licensed market — this review did not independently research Sweden-specific game-library or provider detail, so no claim is made here.
Payment Methods
Reported: Trustly, Swish, Mastercard, and Visa for deposits, with a 100 kr minimum deposit and 200 kr minimum withdrawal, both reported as fee-free. Swish withdrawals, signed via BankID (Sweden’s national digital identification system), are reported as completing within a few minutes. This detail came from content matching LeoVegas’s own Swedish support subdomain, but a live direct fetch attempt during this research redirected to LeoVegas’s German site instead, so it is treated as indexed rather than live-verified.
KYC & Verification
As a Spelinspektionen licensee, LeoVegas is subject to Sweden’s identity-verification requirements, and BankID is reported as the mechanism used for withdrawal confirmation specifically. Broader documentation requirements were not independently verified for this review.
Mobile Experience
CasinoRadar has not conducted hands-on testing of LeoVegas’s Swedish mobile site or app, and no dedicated research into mobile-specific features was performed for this review.
Customer Support
CasinoRadar could not find reliable information on LeoVegas’s Swedish customer support channels for this review.
Pros & Cons

- Pro: Spelpaus.se and Stödlinjen confirmed as part of the framework LeoVegas operates under
- Pro: Publicly traded parent (MGM Resorts International, NYSE)
- Con: A live direct fetch of LeoVegas’s Swedish pages redirected to its German site instead
- Con: The Spelinspektionen decision-document PDF could not be read directly
- Con: Games and customer support unverified for the Swedish market specifically
Who Is LeoVegas (Sweden) For?
Players located in Sweden who want a well-corroborated, genuinely online-native operator with strong Sweden-specific payment integration and a publicly traded parent company.
Who Should Avoid LeoVegas (Sweden)?
Players who want a review with independently verified game-library detail for the Swedish market specifically — this review relied on CasinoRadar’s separate Germany review for general LeoVegas background but did not independently confirm Sweden-specific game data.
Final Verdict
LeoVegas’s Swedish operation is one of the better-corroborated reviews in this project: its license is confirmed via both a corporate press wire and an actual Spelinspektionen government record, its bonus terms are unusually consistent and specific, and its parent company is publicly traded. Payment detail is strong but not live-verified, and Sweden-specific game and support data remain unconfirmed.
CasinoRadar Score: 7.8/10. Evidence confidence: Medium (5 of 8 categories). Testing: Research-based.

Sources Checked
Regulator-record source: a Spelinspektionen government PDF (spelinspektionen.se) whose filename directly references LeoVegas Gaming plc and a case-dismissal decision regarding player registration/ID/spelpaus.se compliance; the PDF’s content itself could not be extracted as readable text.
Corporate press wire: mb.cision.com — used to confirm the license number, grant date, and five-year term.
Indexed operator content (not live-fetched): content matching help.leovegas.com and leovegas.com/sv-se/support pages, surfaced via search — a live direct fetch attempt redirected to LeoVegas’s German site instead.
Independent/secondary sources: multiple Sweden-specific casino-comparison sites, used cautiously for payment and bonus details, explicitly labeled as reported/not independently verified where they extended beyond the operator-domain content.
