Swedish Language Online Casino Launching: 1
The Swedish gambling market is about to get a new choice when it comes to online
casino gambling in the country. Although the Swedish gambling market is
traditionally closed to outsider competition because of a government owned
monopoly, pressure from the European Union and other nations has opened the
Swedish market – if only a bit – and foreign online casinos are becoming
increasingly daring when entering the market. According to the latest
information, a newly branded gambling site, Mr. Green.com is launching from two
of the three founding members of Betsson – a current Swedish betting and
gambling group that operates for the Swedish gambling market.
Betsson has consistently pushed the boundaries of the Swedish online casino and
land betting market, rarely paying heed to the threats from Swedish authorities
attempting to protect the state-owned gambling monopoly. Because the land and
internet gambling policies are clearly protectionist in nature, Betsson has
confidently entered the Swedish betting market. Should the Swedish government
take Betsson to court, Betsson has a clear cut case that shows that according to
EU policies regarding free trade and services between EU member-states the
company is licensed to legally operate gambling services – online or off, in
Sweden.
Betsson has pushed the limits within the Swedish gambling market and along the
way has allowed other companies and online casinos to follow suit. Although
there is still legislation in place looking to block foreign internet gambling
companies from competing with the monopoly the laws are weakening and in the
Swedish government is in the process of reworking some of the older gambling
laws related to competitive gambling in the country. |
