So yes, they probably accepts customers from Sweden (at least until further notice), but they will not give you any bonuses etc. They really do not want people outside of their little core market to use them. Weird strategy.
They are now kicking players out from their CORE region. They seem to be in chaos, first spending considerable resources driving Norwegian traffic one day, and throwing the lot out the next. Given that this is simply down to a long standing Sportingbet policy, rather than a sudden change, it seems one team (marketing) was not in communication with another (strategic planning), so spent loads of money on the Norwegian market until they were told they shouldn't even be accepting Norwegian players in the first place.
Surely the situation is even MORE dodgy for them in Australia, as they are supposed to have a license to operate there granted by an Australian state, yet get around this by being based offshore. Greece has also looked at cracking down on offshore gambling companies, and Denmark is "full of bonus abusers". This could leave them with only Cyprus, a HUGE Mediterranean country full of potential gamblers
"World class" is completely unnecessary for a group with such a narrow focus, which far from tolerating non-core players, now seems to be throwing them out.
