Linnea Bergström, Swedish Market Editor
Linnea Bergström is the Swedish Market Editor and the author of every Swedish-language review and guide on landing.space, working from Stockholm. She has spent eight years on the Swedish market, starting with the re-regulation that took effect in 2019 and following the gradual move of Swedish players to MGA sites abroad. The questions she keeps coming back to are concrete ones: what Spelpaus stops and what it cannot reach, which winnings are tax-free in Sweden, and how BankID, Swish and Trustly shape a deposit, a withdrawal and an identity check.
Author Credentials
Before landing.space she spent eight years in the Nordic trade press, reporting on Spelinspektionen licence decisions, sanction cases and the yearly argument over channelisation. She knows spellagen (2018:1138) and its marketing rules closely, as well as how winnings from EU/EEA-licensed and offshore operators are taxed. New Spelinspektionen enforcement decisions get read in the week they come out.
How I Write
Swedish readers get the answer first, in Swedish. Where spellagen or a Spelinspektionen decision settles a point, the source is named on the page. A review of a casino without a Swedish licence opens with what a player in Sweden gives up there: Spelpaus does not apply, Swedish deposit limits do not apply, and winnings can become taxable.
