UK And Sweden Crackdown On Online PokerReports Suggest Authorities Lose Patience With Gaming Operators Who May Bend Rules |
|
Newspaper reports this week suggest authorities in both the UK and Sweden are about to launch a crackdown on online gaming operators, including poker sites, who may be bending the rules in those jurisdictions.
The Daily Mail in the UK reports that culture secretary Jeremy Hunt is on the war path to prevent overseas operators advertising in the UK in a move which the paper suggests could drive hundreds of foreign firms out of the country.
In Sweden financial daily Dagens Industri claimed Skatteverket (the Swedish Tax Authority) was planning to investigate online poker companies which claimed to be based overseas but nevertheless ran much of their business operations out of Sweden.
