Swedish Race Wagering

Growth of the industry has largely been the achievement of ATG (AB Trav & Galopp). The Swedish Horse Racing Totalizator Board, established in 1973, operates the Swedish horse race betting industry under a monopoly from the government. It offers live, offtrack betting as well as betting via the Internet. ATG is owned by the Swedish Trotting Association and the Swedish Jockey Club. The government controls the ATG’s board of directors.

From 2000-2005, Sweden permitted betting on dog races. From 2006-2008, there was a national ban on dog race betting. Today, dog racing is legal.
