Svenska Spel reported growth in 2025 even after its last physical casino, Cosmopol in Stockholm, was closed. With a 2% increase over the last year, the total gaming income came to 7.69 SEK billion (€848 million). Income increase climbed 11% year over year to 1.96 SEK billion, while operative profit climbed 10% to 2.54 SEK billion. The termination of the Stockholm location came after Svenska Spel’s land-based casino operations were shut down in Sundsvall, Gothenburg, and Malmö. Sweden formally declared physical casinos illegal in January 2026. The year’s full financial increase was supported by income progress in other business sectors, which balanced the land casino division’s loss.
High Progress in Online Gaming and Lottery
With 5.26 SEK billion in 2025, a 2% increase over 2024, the lottery industry continued to be the largest source of income. The progress of the category has grown with other lottery games, although Eurojackpot continued to draw participants. Due in large part to the popularity of online casinos and sports betting, the Sports & Casino sector’s income increased by 2% to 2.12 SEK billion. However, Stryktipset’s gambling performance was a little worse than it was the year before.
Virtual Sales Still in Control
The Vegas gambling industry regressed 15% due to stricter responsible gambling measures and a shift in user preferences towards online websites. Online purchases increased by 8% to 4.87 SEK billion, indicating 63% of the total group income. Furthermore, retail income fell 6% to 2.53 SEK billion, as income from restaurants and bingo halls decreased by 15% to 310 SEK million.
Profitability and Dividend Expectations In 2025
Total income was 2.54 SEK billion, while pre-tax profit reached 2.61 SEK billion. Svenska Spel contributed 507 SEK million in taxes and subtracted 136 SEK million for discontinued operations. Net profit of 1.96 SEK billion surpasses 2024 projections. This influenced the company to suggest raising the dividend to 1.8 SEK billion from 1.6 SEK billion.
Finale of the Year
Q4 2025 showed us to be a success, with total gaming income upgrading 2% to 2.13 SEK billion. Operational gain increased by 16% to 641 SEK million, while net profit hit 525 SEK million, reflecting a 9% increase from Q4 2024. The lottery and online casino sectors experienced increased growth, underscoring the ongoing modification to online gambling in Sweden.
