Sweden Jurisdiction News

Back from London and Stockholm…minus an umbrella, phone (not mine, thank god) and 20 years off my life.
Wow is all I can say. Casinomeister, can you turn 50 again please? Amazing birthday party, great GPWA conference, ridiculous dinner with RaketheRake.com, crazy times at Mahiki, even more adventures in Scandinavia (part 3), and roughly 10 hours of sleep. Total.

Adventures in Scandinavia Part 2: Stockholm
Stockholm has officially become my favorite city in the world. I'm sorry Tel Aviv, you have just been bumped to number two...I am willing to forgive a $50 entree, a $20 deli sandwich, a $17 dollar cocktail, and a $6 bottle of water for this extreme beauty and pleasure.

Adventures in Scandinavia Part 1: Helsinki
I am back from the land of blonde hair, blue eyes, IKEA, reindeer, herring, pointy shoes and tight pants. Wow, I miss that land. My twelve day vacation included two of the world's most amazing cities, Helsinki and Stockholm, and even more importantly, some of the most amazing (and better looking) friends I have ever made in my life.

Sweden halts gambling advertising prosecutions
The Scandinavian nation’s Prosecution Authority announced on Thursday that it will not prosecute two prominent newspapers that accepted advertising from online gambling providers. The decision comes following an appeal by the newspapers -- Aftonbladet and Expressen -- after they had been found guilty of violating Sweden’s lottery laws.

Online gaming is permitted in Sweden. Svenska Spel currently holds a monopoly over the online gaming market. It is authorized to offer lotteries, casino games, bingo, poker and sports and horse wagering via the internet and mobile devices. Foreign operators are prohibited from operating in the country.

As a result of a ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ), that deemed Sweden and eight other EU members as having restrictive gaming legislation, Sweden is currently in the process of creating new online laws. It is keeping the online gaming monopoly, but will allow foreign operators in the sports betting market. Svenska Spel will keep its online monopoly for online horse race wagering and all other types of gaming. The sports betting concession is set for implementation in 2011.
