Swedes and Finns Get Tax Free Online Poker

PokerStars has launched a new online poker domain at PokerStars.eu which is licensed by the Malta Lotteries and Gaming Commission.

The company, which has established an office in European Union state Malta, says the move will allow Swedish and Finnish players to operate in a tax-free environment now that they have and regulated presence within the EU.

Other specific countries will be allowed to play on the site in the near future.

Guy Templer, head of business development at PokerStars, said, “Some markets treat European Union-licensed operators differently than other license-holders. Offering our online poker on www.pokerstars.eu with a Maltese license provides benefits to players in Sweden and Finland in particular and we are always striving to offer the best product possible to our players, wherever they are located.”

PokerStars.eu uses the same software as the more widely-used .com site and players have access to the liquidity of the larger international site.
