At Betsson we believe that the area of taxation cannot and should not be treated as an isolated independent area. Our approach to taxation is that it is an integral part of the business, that in turn is built on the foundations of how we believe we should conduct ourselves.

Our values, policies and guidelines that drive our business is also what drives our approach to taxation.
