Camilla Rosenberg, director general of the Swedish Gambling Authority (SGA), will step down at the end of October to assume a senior government position.
Starting 1 November, she will serve as director and head of the Swedish Real Estate Agents’ Inspectorate (FMI). Her departure from the SGA is set for 31 October, marking the conclusion of her tenure a year earlier than initially planned.
I would like to thank Camilla Rosenberg for her meritorious work at the Swedish Gambling Authority during a time of profound changes in the gambling market.I congratulate her on her new position. Operations will continue as planned and at an unabated pace pending the appointment of a new director general.
I am pleased that Camilla Rosenberg has accepted the assignment as director of the Swedish Real Estate Agents’ Inspectorate.
Camilla’s experience, especially from the Swedish Gambling Authority and their work to combat money laundering, will be of great value to FMI and I look forward to our future collaboration.
Rosenberg’s departure concludes an eight-year leadership at Sweden’s gambling authority.
Appointed director general in October 2017, she guided the SGA through a major transformation, most notably the 2019 re-regulation that introduced a licensed online gambling market.
Her journey at the regulator began in 2015 as head of operations, where she was responsible for licensing and supervisory functions. Prior to that, she held senior posts at the Swedish Energy Agency, including chief legal officer, and earlier worked as a tax advisor.
While her tenure saw significant reforms, it was not without difficulties. A 2024 National Audit Office review criticized the SGA for limited inspections, insufficient follow-ups, and weak risk assessments, leaving vulnerabilities in both licensed and unlicensed sectors.
Rosenberg admitted to these shortcomings but underscored that since the 2019 market reform, the regulator has strengthened its oversight through budget increases and organizational changes.
