ComeOn raises welcome bonus age limit to 20 in Sweden

ComeOn has raised the minimum age for welcome bonuses in Sweden from 18 to 20. The change took effect on 10 November and is presented as part of the company's responsible gaming approach. The new requirement covers both casino and sports betting welcome offers. The other terms of the offer have not changed.

Users aged 18 and 19 can continue to open accounts but cannot activate these offers. This means the restriction does not ban account registration altogether. It only limits access to the bonuses. Swedish publication Bettingbladet linked the decision to the operator's duty of care and its responsible gaming work.

Hajper, another brand in the group, has also raised the minimum age to 20 for casino and betting welcome bonuses. Hajper says adults aged 18 and over can still register. Reviant, another brand in the group, has a 25-year age threshold for its welcome bonus.

The changes come at a time when Sweden is examining ways to reduce gambling-related harm among children and young adults. A government inquiry led by Zandra Milton is looking at gambling habits and marketing across licensed and unlicensed operators. The inquiry has been asked to assess possible protective measures, including the risk that players turn to unlicensed sites, and to submit its report by February 2028.
