FTSE250 betting group William Hill Plc has launched its Swedish market licensed online sportsbook property – WilliamHill.se.

As previously communicated, WilliamHill.se is powered by the Kambi sports betting platform, which will see the UK legacy bookmaker enter the Swedish market offering ‘Bet Builder functionalities’ and localised odds on Swedish sports including trotting, Swedish football and ice hockey as well as bandy, floorball and winter sports.
