If the memorandum is passed, it will amend Chapter 17, Section 8 of the Swedish Game Act to allow licensed operators to process players' personal information if they suspect a match-fixing.

The proposed changes would also allow more information to be exchanged between Sweden's gambling regulator (Spelinspektionen), licensee and sports associations in the event of suspected match-fixing.

However, the memorandum notes that an athlete's "personal information" is handled only in certain situations. This includes whether the data can determine the extent to which sporting events and questionable match manipulations have been affected by match manipulation.

According to the memorandum, data processing is thus permitted "if you need to review games intended for money with the aim of detecting cheating, fraud and other criminal activity" and "if you need to control and report allegations of abnormal game patterns and manipulation of results in sports with respect to betting."

Regarding what the proposal calls "individual" sporting events, the names of the individuals involved should be shared. This is to specify which sporting events may have been affected.

"An example of this is that if the allegations concern tennis singles matches, and Deviant play is recorded in the number of double faults by one of the players," the proposal reads.

The amendment will take effect on December 1, 2024. 파친코
