Swedish Regulator Imposes Immediate Ban on Duel.com Operator

Sweden’s gambling authority, Spelinspektionen, has issued an immediate ban against Immortal Snail LLC, the company that operates the offshore casino site Duel.com. The regulator’s decision takes effect at once.

Duel.com has gained notoriety in recent years for what the authority describes as aggressive and controversial marketing practices. The site’s promotional tactics have drawn widespread criticism within the industry, with regulators flagging it as a particularly egregious example of non-compliant advertising.

Immortal Snail LLC is registered outside Sweden, which has enabled Duel.com to target Swedish consumers while operating beyond the scope of the country’s licensing framework. The immediate ban is intended to stop further marketing and operations aimed at Swedish players.

The order marks one of the faster enforcement actions taken by Spelinspektionen against an offshore entity. The regulator has been increasingly active in pursuing unlicensed operators that violate Sweden’s Gambling Act.

Additional details on the case were reported by the analysis platform Blask, which highlighted Duel.com’s status as a persistent problem within the regulated market. The operator’s next steps remain unclear, though the ban is currently in full effect.
