A summary in English of the inquiry, which proposes a comprehensive reform of the regulation of the gambling sector, is provided from page 45 to 71 in the first of the two books.
The inquiry chair's assignment was to submit proposals for a new regulation of gambling based on a licensing system in which all operators on the Swedish gambling market are to have the appropriate permit – a license. This new gambling regulation is to promote gambling that is healthy and safe, that has a high level of consumer protection and that has a transparent regulatory framework. Furthermore, the regulation shall help to limit the negative consequences of gambling.
