SWEDISH ONLINE POKER SITE NOW OPEN AROUND THE CLOCK

And mandatory toilet breaks are a thoughtful extra!


The Swedish government online gambling monopoly Svenska Spel expanded its poker site availability to 24 hours this week, with spokesmen explaining that this would provide a safer gambling setting for Swedish pokerheads.

In an unusual but thoughtful move, the poker site will also introduce mandatory five minute toilet breaks every half hour to give gamblers an opportunity to pause and reflect on their play as well as attending to Nature's needs.

The Boss-powered site opened in March this year and already claims to have 100 000 registered players, although it is not known how many of these are active.

With the limited hours of operation that were initially part of its operational practice, management discovered that many players would move away to other and more readuly available poker sites when the Senska Spel operation closed for the day. Spokesmen explained that Svenska Spel management believe that the Swedish site is much safer for gamblers than other sites due to the stringent regulations enforced to guard against problem and underaged gambling. The decision was therefore made to extend the availability of poker play on the site for the full 24 hours.
