Cons
- Fully and permanently closed as of 25 April 2025
- No online presence ever existed
- Marks the end of land-based casino gambling in Sweden entirely
Our verdict
We want to be direct about Casino Cosmopol: it is fully closed. All 4 venues (Sundsvall, Malmo, Gothenburg, Stockholm) have permanently shut down, with the last, Stockholm, closing on 25 April 2025 - marking the end of land-based casino gambling in Sweden entirely. There is nothing to recommend here as a gambling option, since the operator no longer exists in any operating form. Readers looking for casino gaming options in Sweden should look to online-licensed alternatives instead, since Sweden's state land-based casino monopoly has been fully wound down.

About Casino Cosmopol
Casino Cosmopol was a state-owned subsidiary of Svenska Spel, holding a monopoly on land-based casinos in Sweden, with all profits directed to the national treasury. It operated 4 venues across Sundsvall, Malmo, Gothenburg, and Stockholm, opened between 1999 and 2003. We want to be direct: Casino Cosmopol is now fully closed. Sundsvall (Sweden's first international casino, voted Europe's best casino in 2012) closed in 2020 due to falling profitability. Malmo and Gothenburg both closed on 24 February 2024. The flagship Stockholm venue, the last Casino Cosmopol location in operation, closed permanently on 25 April 2025, marking the end of land-based casino gambling in Sweden entirely, a closure attributed to falling profitability amid the rise of online gaming. Casino Cosmopol never operated online, so no welcome bonus ever existed, and there is now no active venue to visit or bonus to consider.
