Swedish license - Should I stay or should I go?

[dunover]

Energy Casino have just pulled out of Sweden as they won't be getting a license, but L&L have theirs now and are adding Novomatic for Sweden, so some good news I suppose.

It won't help people from getting addicted to gambling no, but since there also is a central database to exclude and more RG controls the player needs to set himself, then I think most players will feel a bit more in control.
I at least hope so.
Then the fact that the casinos won't be able to market themselves as they have will help. It's been awful and their ads have been everywhere.

Yes I do agree the changes you mentioned here are great and should exist everywhere. In Finland casinos are not allowed to advertise on any channels broadcasted from Finland but ones coming from outside the country such as MTV are not subject to it so most of their especially later at night are online casinos. Thankfully I don't really watch tv but I agree there's no need for gambling ads to be there. The only thing I don't like is the bonus rule and that's what I was referring to in my last message. I just feel the benefit from not offering more than a sign-up bonus is negligible and the cons far outweigh that.

This is probably going to be the future going forward and I applaud many of the changes and requirements they're doing for the swedish licenses, but I do feel bad for players losing deposit bonuses. Personally as a low roller I play almost exclusively with bonuses and this kind of change would probably almost completely stop my online gambling. This particular change is most definitely not to the advantage of the player and I bet it was high fives all around at the casinos hearing this term being put into law.

I think the casinos will find a way around the law in form of purchable bonuses without promo ads

Yoyoyo brothers and sisters, ladys and misters, mothers and daddies, gals and laddies!

I'm here to let you guys and gals know, what I know has been in your mind and keeping you from sleep these past couple of months. We are indeed going to keep our Swedish players and we've had the licence secured for quite some time.
We're excited to see what this licence might bring

@dave1888
Our streamers will get a minor setback due to this, not like many other casinos, but a minor setback. As we only offer a 80% deposit bonus with maximum of €240/£240 for our streamers, and the size of the affiliate/streamer doesn't matter.

@Tirilej & @eizei
To be fair I think that the Swedish responsible gaming will be more secure than the UK, and they have pretty strict rules, due to the BankID and as you mentioned a central database. Not saying that the UK system isn't secured, but I think the Swedish personal data system is more efficient. This has and always be a priority for us and should be for everyone else. But to be fair there is so much you can do when handling so many people. And the BankID system will definitely help with keeping a better control.

Overall, I think this will be a great stepping stone for the Swedish market and we're really looking forward to see how this will work out

Ciao-a-bunga!

You've already changed my currency which makes it feel very odd for me to play, but I know you had to, but when will we start logging in with BankID? Will you have the same as Videoslots so we have to use our mobiles, or do we get the choice to use our normal computers when we log in?

You have already removed most bonuses. Will there be anything for us normal players who don't take part in your races? Otherwise I see no point for me playing there at all.

Mails will be sent when we launch it, we don't have a specific date at the moment because we are still working on some finishing touches.
You will be able to log in through both desktop and mobile

There will be other things we're able to give except bonus money, so there will be a system set up by the first of January. What it is? You will just have to wait and see

I just got an email from Guts or I assume it's from Guts. They are opening a new casino called Guts Express. Probably only for us from Sweden.

What irritates me is that there is no other information going out. Nothing about them closing our accounts at Guts, or when they will do it.
Nothing so far from Rizk either. 11 days to go

 

[ternur]

Got the same Guts Express email. I guess it's available to countries using BankID and similar ID methods. Just like Thrills.

...and I guess it's a lot easier to just create a new website than change the real one. It will be no promotions at all for us. Absolutely none!
I didn't know you had BankID in your strange country

 

[ternur]

We probably copied it from Sweden like all the other stuff too.

Genesis have a 5-year Swedish license now, Sloty/Cruise/Spinit/Genesis Casino/Vegas hero.

Is that the casino cruise group? If it is then they can stay away!!

Yes, and they won't be staying away!

 

[Tirilej]

I did realize that. I still don't like them and I don't trust them.

 

[Tirilej]

This was interesting! I just got an email from CasinoEuro with two choices, either I leave them and sign up to a sistercasino or I continue to play with them even though they won't have a Swedish license.
I had no idea that some would accept us to continue playing if we wanted too.
If that's true I rather stay there since I know who runs it.

So what will the Swedish gaming authority or whatever they are called think of that ? Are they allowed to let Swedish people play if they have no licence?

I believe they are, just like I should be allowed to decide. I could never imagine that outsides websites would be blocked in any way, but I know that they want outside gambling sites to have a warning sign for Swedish players about them not being licensed here. Then the banks maybe could stop them in some ways but I'm not sure about that.

We're still in the EU so it's an open market in many ways. I wonder what will happen if Uk won't stay though, when it comes to gambling.

A point of order there! There's no 'if' we won't stay.....

Why am I not surprised that you chimed in Well, I hope Uk will change their minds, and I believe most of Sweden think like me.

You can now login without Mobile BankID @ Videoslots.

I love it when you listen
Now I don't have to run and get my phone each time I want to log in

Worked perfectly!

We've created Guts Xpress for players who do not like promotions bonuses emails and things like that. Which is why it's a Pay'N'Play website where there's no bonuses/cashback or anything.

We also do not give out bonuses via chat or via email as it's bonus free website for players to just want to play and it is available for all who reside in Sweden, Germany & Finland who only have bank-ID.

Exactly what happened to Thrills then, and I haven't received a single email from them since the change.

So my normal account at Guts, what will happen to that?

 

[Guts]

Your normal account at Guts, will remain there, with the same details everything.

If you have a different currency than SEK for instance, your account will be closed and automatically re-opened with an account in SEK due to the new regulation.

Guts Xpress is a sister casino so it does not affect your (Guts account). Think of it like another Casino that started up but a sister casino to Guts.

Looks quite straight copy of Thrills, so can't see much creation here But at least you have it for some countries. Any idea when MTS have Swedish license?
