An MGA-licensed Nordic casino with an unresolved contradiction on whether operator Rootz Limited has ceased running it
Visit Folkeautomaten →Pros
- Genuine Malta Gaming Authority licence under a named, established operator group
- Evolution Gaming live-dealer titles
Cons
- Unresolved contradiction on whether operator Rootz Limited has ceased running the brand entirely
- Very limited independent review volume (8 Trustpilot reviews)
- No locally regulated welcome bonus in Norway - offshore and unlicensed there
Our verdict
Folkeautomaten holds a genuine MGA licence via operator Rootz Limited, but we want to be direct that our research surfaced a serious, unresolved contradiction: one source describes it as actively operating, while another states operations have entirely ceased under Rootz. Given this unresolved and potentially serious status contradiction, we'd recommend strong caution with Folkeautomaten and suggest confirming directly on its own site whether it is still accepting new deposits before playing.
How we rated it
Sportsbook & casino (36%)6
Described in one source as a well-regarded Nordic casino with Evolution Gaming live-dealer titles and extensive slots/table games.
Bonuses & value (18%)5
No locally regulated welcome bonus in Norway - a state monopoly market; elsewhere markets a 100% welcome bonus.
Support & reliability (18%)2.5
Only 8 Trustpilot reviews found - too small a sample to draw a conclusion; if operations have indeed ceased, players with remaining balances are directed to contact support for manual withdrawal.
Trust & licensing (27%)2
Holds a genuine MGA licence via operator Rootz Limited, but a separate independent source states operations have 'entirely ceased' under Rootz - an unresolved and serious contradiction we could not settle.

About Folkeautomaten
Folkeautomaten is a Nordic-focused online casino under Malta Gaming Authority licensing, operated by Rootz Limited (founded 2018, rebranded to Wildz Group/Granturo Malta Ltd as of mid-2025). We want to flag a serious, unresolved contradiction directly rather than pick a side: one source described it as an actively operating, well-regarded Norwegian/Nordic casino, while another stated that Rootz Limited's operation of the Folkeautomaten brand has 'entirely ceased,' with players directed to contact support for manual withdrawal of remaining balances. We could not determine which is currently accurate. Trustpilot shows minimal activity (8 reviews), and Evolution Gaming provides its live-dealer games.
