Spelpaus is Sweden's national, centralized self-exclusion register for gambling.
What is Spelpaus and how it works
Spelpaus is Sweden's national self-exclusion register, launched on 1 January 2019 by the Swedish Gambling Authority (Spelinspektionen). It is a free service. Self-exclusion covers all gambling companies licensed in Sweden.[1]
How Spelpaus helps gamblers
Registered users are automatically blocked from all licensed operators offering betting, online casinos, lotteries and physical slot machines. Operators are legally obliged to respect the block and cannot send marketing materials or allow account access.
What you need for registration with Spelpaus
Users need their Swedish personal identity number (personnummer) and must select an exclusion period. Identity is verified via BankID, Mobile BankID, or Freja eID+.[2]
How to register at Spelpaus online
1. Go to the https://www.spelpaus.se/en.
2. Complete a simple form.
3. Confirm verification process.
4. Logout from all casinos.
How to remove Spelpaus self-exclusion
Step 1. Check if your self-exclusion period is over
A self-exclusion for 1, 3 or 6 months ends automatically at the end of the period. If you chose to exclude yourself until you decide otherwise, you cannot end it until 12 months have passed.
Step 2. Contact Spelpaus to make the cancellation request
For indefinite exclusions only: submit a removal request via spelpaus.se after the 12-month minimum has elapsed.
Step 3. Cooling-off period
No statutory cooling-off period applies to fixed-term exclusions.
Step 4. Cancellation
You cannot cancel or end an ongoing self-exclusion. However, you can extend it at any time.
Responsible gambling after removing Spelpaus
Set deposit and loss limits right away
All Swedish-licensed operators are required to offer deposit and loss limits under LIFS 2018:2.[3]
Bet small to stay in control
Start with minimal stakes to monitor behaviour before increasing.
Take gambling-free days
Use scheduled breaks to maintain control.
Stick to essentials first
Only gamble with discretionary income, never with money needed for essential expenses.
FAQ
Can I still gamble on Spelpaus? No. A gambling company licensed in Sweden must cross-check Spelpaus.se every time you try to register or log in.
Is Spelpaus available for all gambling sites? Spelpaus covers all Swedish-licensed online casinos, betting sites, physical casinos, slot machines, and betting shops. It does not cover offshore sites without a Swedish licence.
How to gamble online when on Spelpaus? It is not possible on any Swedish-licensed platform. Access is technically blocked at login and registration level.
Can I cancel Spelpaus before my self-exclusion ends? No. You cannot cancel or end an ongoing self-exclusion.
How long does it take to remove Spelpaus?
Fixed-term exclusions expire automatically. Indefinite exclusions require a manual request after a minimum of 12 months.
Can I cancel Spelpaus if I was signed up by someone else?
Spelpaus only accepts self-registration. Third-party referrals are informational only; the excluded person must act themselves.
