When the S-lottery Kombispel was exposed with unfair sales methods, they cut off the largest source of new lottery sales - telemarketing. Still, the lottery corporation is making a profit. But it's clear that it has had an impact, says CEO Jonas Nygren to TT.
SwedenBoth the Consumer Agency and the Gaming Inspectorate have opened supervision cases against license holders of three Swedish lotteries, in the aftermath of the S-lottery scandal. These include the Social Democrats, the Swedish postcode association, the Breast Cancer Association, and the Prostate Cancer Association.
SwedenThe Social Democratic Party's lottery company Kombispel made "unreasonable demands" on telemarketing companies for several years. This is testified by two entrepreneurs in the industry.
SwedenThe Social Democratic Party's joint games do not want to disclose how much money the former CEO receives in compensation after being fired. The agreement contained a clause stating that it may not be made public.
SwedenThe Social Democratic Party's leadership has, according to information to Dagens Nyheter, been warned that the party's lottery tickets are being sold using methods that cannot be defended, over a longer period of time.
SwedenJonas Nygren (The Social Democrats) is the new CEO who takes over crisis-ridden Kombispel. Now routines are being reviewed and telemarketing is being stopped. But if they will continue to contact existing customers by phone, he cannot answer that.
