Basically there will be no more bonuses, responsible gaming will become very important, players would be able to be excluded from a game if they prefer, there will be less games to be played, there will be less providers, there will be less casinos to play at. And I think that soon they can only use bankID to register and/or login. E.g. new accounts in 2019 cannot login with a username and PW on our end. Only with their BankID. Previous customers can though.
That's great news. BankID and similar ID systems in the Nordic countries are considered as strong identification methods. I wish more operators would utilise these methods. Emailing or uploading scanned copies of IDs is a poor way to do KYC. It's not really more sophisticated than sending a fax or a telex.
On the topic of Sverige och licensiering: I hope the new system will be beneficial to players. But to me it's just another way to collect taxes.
It would be great to see uniform licensing in Europe. National licensing systems are forms of intricate control systems which have their benefits, but a level playing field would be more ideal. This is most likely an utopian dream considering the emphasis of "public morality" in all gambling related issues.
