Swedish Gambling Company Identifies Addicts

The Swedish government has been targeted recently for running a monopoly on online casino betting in Sweden and consistently encouraging gambling to Swedish citizens. Critics are claiming that problem gambling is a growing concern in Sweden, yet up until Svenska Spel’s new software, there was no way to identify and help online casinos gambling addicts. But just recently, Svenska Spel launched artificial intelligence software that uses previous gambling and wagering patterns to identify when gamblers step into the danger zone of addiction.

The intelligence software was developed by ICU Intelligence, a Swedish intelligence firm developing software and programs for both the online casino gambling industry, and the non-gambling computer technology industries. Other countries and online casinos are beginning to use gambling monitoring systems to protect gamblers, but Svenska Spel’s new software is currently the most advanced network in place with the ability to identify when gamblers slip into addiction 90 percent of the time.

But that does not mean that the problem is completely solved. Because the current intelligence software is voluntary, not all players will benefit from the monitoring. Also, the program is effective because is tracks betting patterns across time, and red-flags gamblers who begin to deviate from that pattern… but what about the gamblers who already have a online casino gambling addiction?

But for the first attempt at solving problem online casino gambling, this new artificial intelligence system is proving effective. Once problem or at-risk gamblers are detected, Svenska Spel has a variety of options to choose from. Not only does Svenska Spel stop all marketing programs aimed at that gambler, but has a variety of options to choose from to work toward acknowledging and solving the addiction. Problem online casino gamblers also have the option to request self-exclusion from all Svenska Spel gambling products and services.
