Ex-girlfriend Lauren Mochen says NHL forward Arthur Kaliyev drained her finances for gambling

The former girlfriend of NHL forward Arthur Kaliyev says he pulled her into what she describes as a long and messy spiral driven by his gambling habit, and that it ended with him taking tens of thousands of dollars from her.
Lauren Mochen, a model who dated Kaliyev for about three years, has been sharing her story on TikTok and says everything she experienced pointed back to one thing. As she puts it, he was gambling constantly and using her money to do it.

Mochen accuses NHL star Kaliyev of gambling her money away
According to Mochen, the whole situation started quietly enough. She says Kaliyev would tell her he was having issues with his online banking and would ask to borrow money or use her PayPal account. At first, she said she trusted him because they had already been talking every day for months. But she now believes those early requests were the beginning of what she calls a long scam to fund a hidden gambling problem.
In her first TikTok video, Mochen says that Kaliyev even created fake personalities online as part of the ruse. She describes a slow buildup of excuses, delays, and stories that eventually led to him asking for access to her PayPal account so he could move money around.

She recalls the moment things truly crossed a line. They were supposed to meet in Miami during the playoffs when, she says, he texted her with what he called a weird request.
According to Mochen, he wrote, “Weird request. My family owes some people some money and I need to send it out to them but my PayPal is suspended. I have all this money, I just can’t send it out. Do you think I can put my card on your PayPal and send it out through your PayPal?” She says he added that he might be hurt by his family if he did not pay them, which frightened her into helping.
From there, she says he began pulling money from her card. He apologized and told her he would pay it back, but Mochen says that did not happen. Instead, she claims she got pulled into a three year stretch of covering costs, transferring money to him, and depositing checks that kept bouncing. She says he blamed everything on frozen bank accounts that he said were controlled by his family.

Svenska Spel faces new Spelinspektionen compliance probe amid ongoing regulatory scrutiny

Svenska Spel Sport & Casino AB faces another compliance probe by the Swedish Gambling Authority, Spelinspektionen.
In a recent statement, the regulator said it will be carrying out supervision of Svenska Spel’s gaming venues, covering turnover and the placement of cash dispensers.
Written information, along with site visits, will be requested by the Swedish Gambling Authority to monitor the company.
This is not the first time that Svenska Spel has faced controversy in recent months, with the state-owned gambling company coming under intense scrutiny for several incidents.
Svenska Spel have come under scrutiny in recent months
In June, the company received a SEK 100 million ($10.4 million) fine from the Spelinspektionen due to the company having serious shortcomings when it came to player welfare.
Despite having a duty of care for its users, several players lost excessive amounts of money while using the operator.
These losses ranged from SEK 260,000 ($27,000) to SEK 600,000 ($62,000), costing players a large proportion of their yearly income in the process.
“Svenska Spel Sport & Casino neither continuously followed up with the reviewed customers nor took the necessary and individualized actions to limit their gambling.” stated the gambling authority, and this led to the fine.
The administrative court overturned the ruling, however, claiming that the company did not fail badly enough regarding its responsibilities.
Furthermore, last month, Svenska Spel and the Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling (BOS) clashed publicly over potential plans for restrictions on the gambling market in Sweden.
Svenska Spel advocated for a proposal which would classify games according to risk. Several high-risk games would therefore be subject to special restrictions on a number of topics.
The BOS argued that this would likely affect online casinos more than any other sector in the industry. This area is already competing with illegal and unlicensed companies.
This matter is still ongoing at the time of writing. The results of this latest compliance probe will be available to view once the review is complete.
