Gambling companies vs. Sweden
December 18, 2008, 8:37 am (2 years ago)The discussion over the conclusion of the Swedish Inquiry on Gambling went into a new chapter when 4 main online gambling companies called a press conference to confront the Swedish government conclusions with their own examination.
The Swedish proposals issued at the beginning of this week advocated some alteration to the monopolistic constitution which limits gambling to the state owned Svenska Spel, but limit this to licensing sports betting products to private operators by 2011. But the document didn’t succeed to include poker and casino activities, which it stated had an augmented risk for problem gambling, thus it has to stay the exclusive preserve of the state monopoly.
