Svenska lagar och regler - en inblick & rapport

AM Europe

Sveriges spellagstiftning genomgick en betydande förändring 2019 med införandet av en ny spellag. Syftet med reformen var att öka konsumentskyddet och kontrollera den svenska spelmarknaden. En direkt konsekvens av detta blev en striktare reglering av utländska casinon som riktar sig till svenska spelare. Utländska Casinon och Svensk Lag Innan 2019 var det relativt fritt fram för utländska casinon att verka på den svenska marknaden. Men med den nya spellagen är det endast casinon med svensk licens som får rikta sig till svenska spelare. Detta innebär att utländska casinon utan svensk licens inte längre får marknadsföra sig till svenska spelare eller erbjuda sina tjänster till dem. Vad betyder detta för svenska spelare? Begränsat utbud: Spelare har ett mindre utbud av casinon att välja mellan. Ökad säkerhet: Spelare som väljer ett svenskt licensierat casino kan känna sig säkrare då dessa casinon följer strikta regler och krav. Skatter: Vinster från spel på svenska casinon beskattas inte, medan vinster från spel på utländska casinon kan vara skattepliktiga. Spelinspektionen – Tillsynsmyndigheten Spelinspektionen är den svenska myndighet som ansvarar för att övervaka och kontrollera spelmarknaden. De har till uppgift att se till att spelbolag följer gällande lagar och regler, samt att skydda spelare från oärliga aktörer. Spelinspektionen har verktyg för att blockera olagliga casinon och kan även utdela sanktioner till bolag som bryter mot reglerna. Läs mer här: Utländska Casino NewsDirect Konsumentskydd och Ansvarigt Spelande Den nya spellagen har också infört skärpta krav på ansvarsfullt spelande. Casinon måste erbjuda verktyg för spelare att sätta gränser för sina spelande, och det finns även stödlinjer för spelberoende. Det är viktigt att komma ihåg att spel alltid innebär en risk. Det är därför viktigt att spela ansvarsfullt och sätta upp gränser för sig själv. Sammanfattning Sveriges spellagstiftning har blivit betydligt striktare för att skydda spelare och kontrollera spelmarknaden. Även om det innebär begränsningar för spelare, så ökar det också säkerheten och skapar en rättvisare spelmiljö. Det är viktigt att alltid välja ett svenskt licensierat casino för att vara säker på att spela på laglig grund och kunna ta del av konsumentskyddet. Viktigt att notera: Denna artikel är en allmän översikt och ersätter inte juridisk rådgivning. För mer detaljerad information rekommenderas att kontakta Spelinspektionen eller en jurist. Nyckelord: svensk spellagstiftning, utländska casinon, Spelinspektionen, ansvarsfullt spelande, konsumentskydd.

Liquid Death Becomes Official Partner of Italy’s Campobasso Football Club

Club Underdog

Liquid Death, the healthy beverage platform and one of the fastest-growing non-alcoholic brands, is now the official water and flavored sparkling water partner of Italy’s Campobasso Football Club (Campobasso), which is co-owned by Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, Emmy Award-winning hosts of LIVE with Kelly & Mark, the top-rated talk show in the United States. Liquid Death was unveiled as a partner of Campobasso in late July on LIVE, with a guest appearance and jersey swap by Ryan Reynolds. The Deadpool star was gifted the new Liquid Death branded Campobasso FC jersey by Consuelos while exchanging a Wrexham A.F.C. jersey, the Welsh club which has gained global popularity through its “Welcome to Wrexham” series on FX. “The Campobasso journey has been a fairytale over the past two years, taking this club from the bottom to winning two consecutive promotions for the first time in our 100-plus year history,” said Consuelos. “Much in the same way Liquid Death has built one of the boldest brands on the planet right now, we built Campobasso with precision, fearlessness and by dreaming big. Campobasso FC has now arrived and is ready to play on big stages, and what better brand to partner with than Liquid Death, who has taken on the giants and won just as we intend to do on the pitch.” As part of a multi-year agreement that makes Liquid Death the official water partner of Campobasso FC, fans will see Liquid Death at all Campobasso FC concession stands, on stadium signage, on special edition jerseys, and wrapped around the team's tour bus. Liquid Death will also collaborate on LED ad boards, the player tunnel walkway, product kiosks, unique activations, and events for Campobasso FC fans in North America, and more. “This is our first venture into European football, and we couldn't be more excited for it," said Ryan Heuser, Liquid Death’s senior vice president of experiential marketing. “We’re thrilled to bring our infinitely recyclable, ice-cold cans of Liquid Death to the highly passionate fans of Southern Italy’s historical club. We’ll be on the road with the team as the exclusive sponsor of the team bus and carried at all concession stands at the Molinari Avicor Stadium in Campobasso.” Matt Rizzetta, Chairman of North Sixth Group, parent company and operator of Campobasso FC, oversaw the revival of the team from near obscurity, with only 70 fans at matches during its first game in 2022, to attracting 30,000 fans for its celebration upon the club’s triumphant promotion to Serie C in 2024. “The partnership between Camopbasso FC and Liquid Death brings together two of today’s feel-good underdog stories in sports and water,” said Matt Rizzetta, Chairman of North Sixth Group, parent company of Campobasso FC. “With Mike Cessario and Liquid Death, our journeys intersect in many ways and share the same values of perseverance, courage, and overcoming the odds. We couldn’t think of a better partner with whom to join hands as we both write the next chapter in our respective underdog stories.” Located between Rome and Naples in the region of Molise, Campobasso carries a proud football tradition that dates back more than 100 years. The team has one of the most passionate followings in central and southern Italy, having beaten some of the most successful teams in Italian football such as Juventus, AC Milan, and Lazio, during its glory years of the 1980’s. In 2022, fans of Campobasso were at risk of losing football completely after the team was denied entrance to the professional leagues. On the brink of losing all hope of competing in Italian football, North Sixth Group acquired Campobasso along with Ripa and Consuelos, restarting from the fifth tier of the Italian football pyramid. Since acquiring the club, Campobasso has won two consecutive championships and has been promoted to Serie C, the third tier of Italian professional football. Liquid Death uses comedy and entertainment to promote both sustainability and healthy products. Liquid Death’s social following captures more than 9.5 million followers across TikTok and Instagram, making it the third most followed beverage brand globally. The company donates a portion of proceeds to nonprofits as part of their partnership with 5Gyres and the Thirst Project. For more information, visit www.CampobassoFC.com and follow the official social media channels of Campobasso FC on Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Patreon. About Liquid Death As one of the fastest growing non-alcoholic beverage brands, Liquid Death uses comedy and entertainment to make health and sustainability 50 times more fun. We take the healthiest things you can drink and package it into infinitely recyclable cans that compete with the fun marketing of unhealthy brands across energy drinks, beer, and junk food. Our product lines include mountain water, sparkling mountain water, sparkling flavored water, iced tea, and our hydration sticks, Death Dust. A portion of Liquid Death’s proceeds goes to nonprofits who are helping fight plastic pollution and bring clean drinking water to those in need. For more information on Liquid Death please visit liquiddeath.com. About Club Underdog Powered by N6 Club Underdog is a multi-asset sports ownership entity wholly owned and operated by North Sixth Group, a New York and Los Angeles-based family office operating company. Within its portfolio, Club Underdog owns historic European football clubs Campobasso FC, Dagenham & Redbridge FC; American professional men’s and women’s franchise Brooklyn Football Club; and fast-growing football apparel company Diaza.

In 2023, the group also made history as the first ownership group to bring an expansion football franchise to the Borough of Brooklyn. Kicking off in USL Super League and USL Championship in 2024 and 2025 respectively, Brooklyn FC is one of the only sports franchises in the United States to include a professional men’s and women’s team under the same platform.

Avenue Z Announces Strategic Partnerships with TikTok Shops and Shopify: Driving New Advancements in Social Commerce

Avenue Z

Heading into the crucial Q4 holiday retail season, Avenue Z, a media and technology company, announced its strategic partnerships with TikTok Shops and Shopify. These collaborations amplify Avenue Z’s cutting-edge approach, highlighting its role as an official TikTok Shops Agency Partner and Shopify Plus Partner, delivering unmatched benefits to shoppers, creators, and brands. Avenue Z, a leader in social commerce, is renowned for its ability to drive influence across all channels, where Shopify’s e-commerce platform and TikTok Shops’ affiliate and influencer marketing abilities are a critical part. “Shopify and TikTok Shops are the key drivers paving the new path that is social commerce” said David Corchado, Chief Strategy Officer at Avenue Z, and Head of Channel Partnerships. “They continue to innovate store functionality and enhance the on-platform shopper experience. Now with the prioritization of TikTok Live content, any DTC / B2C brand heading into the holiday retail season must have these two pieces in their e-commerce ecosystem, or they’ll miss the mark on Q4 performance.” This partnership provides direct access to TikTok Shop expertise, along with insights from Shopify and Shopify Plus experts, all designed to optimize the shopping experience, boost revenue, and enhance brand reputation. Avenue Z will also be working with brands on TikTok to stream “LIVE” content allowing viewers and creators to interact in real-time. Easy Access to TikTok Shop Expertise for Brands With over 150 million monthly active users in the US, TikTok is revolutionizing social commerce. Avenue Z’s status as a preferred TikTok Shops Partner (TSP) allows brands to tap into platform expertise and support to leverage viral marketing trends, transforming product discovery into instant purchasing decisions. This collaboration enables brands to easily engage with TikTok’s dynamic audience through Avenue Z’s expertise and creator network, leveraging real-time analytics and advanced tools to maximize sales and brand presence. “Affiliate and influencer marketing have evolved and merged into a highly effective strategy for performance marketing,” said Jonathan Snow, Chief Innovation Officer at Avenue Z, in a recent Fast Company article. “Brands can make the most of this by engaging a large number of affiliates and offering attractive commissions, all through the TikTok Shop platform. Paired with our platform expertise, social commerce will be a critically important revenue generating channel for brands in Q4.” Shopify Expertise for eCommerce Brands As a Shopify Plus Partner, Avenue Z helps brands optimize their digital storefronts and expand their reach, driving growth in a competitive marketplace. With Shopify, brands can manage and grow their online presence across multiple channels, ensuring a seamless shopping experience that meets the evolving preferences of today’s consumers. “This is why our Shopify Plus Partner status is so important, we’re able to bring the best in e-commerce to our clients,” said Snow. “Shopify has the world’s highest converting checkout experience, augmented by Shop Pay which expedites the payment process and offers consumers rewards and cashback. Thanks to this, Shopify Payments represents a staggering 61% of Shopify’s GMV, which climbed $2B in Q2 2024 (YoY), and was able to do so despite unfavorable consumer market conditions. When the tide turns and we enter a stronger consumer market in the near future, just imagine what Shopify’s growth will accelerate to.” Snow’s outlook for DTC/B2C brand performance in Q4 2024 remains strong, but only when best-in-class e-commerce tools and talent align, as is the case with Avenue Z’s Shopify Plus Partnership. Biggest Brand Benefits: Driving Revenue, Elevating Reputation As Avenue Z continues to pioneer advancements in social commerce, the strategic partnerships with TikTok Shops and Shopify mark a significant milestone. “Channels like this - TikTok and Shopify - are critical avenues for driving influence today, for brands looking to elevate reputation or increase revenue,” said Jeffrey Herzog, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Avenue Z. “They are top performers in our channel network, excelling at driving commerce, connections, and conversions for our clients. We will undoubtedly expand in this area by adding more channels and expertise in the coming months." These partnerships highlight Avenue Z's continuous effort to stay at the forefront of innovation, ensuring that their clients can leverage the latest technological advancements to captivate and engage audiences across all channels. About TikTok Shop & TikTok Shop Partners (TSPs): TikTok Shops is a completely personalized and fully integrated commerce solution, where sellers can authentically connect with creators and communities to drive meaningful shopping experiences.
