What this means for players
Different owners mean separate accounts, separate terms and separate support. A self-exclusion at one does not cover the other, unless you use a national scheme that covers both.
Does a self-exclusion at Frank & Fred cover Frank Casino?
Through a national scheme, yes: Spelpaus covers both sites, because both are licensed in Sweden (Spelinspektionen licence) in our data. An exclusion set only in your Frank & Fred account may not cover Frank Casino.
