24HPOKER REPORTS PRESSURE FROM SWEDISH GAMING BOARD
Details of employees requested
The online poker company 24h Poker reports that the Swedish Gaming Board has requested detailed information on all the employees of the firm working in Sweden. According to the Swedish Gaming Board, this is first step to ensure gaming related companies in the country are abiding by the law.
24h Poker has been asked to provide information to the Board immediately, regarding job descriptions, uses of the company trademark, etc. According to the chief legal advisor at the Swedish Gaming Board, Hakan Hallstedt, more companies will soon be asked to provide the same information.
"Many gaming companies are listed in Sweden and have their employees here. None of them are permitted to work with gaming related tasks in Sweden, as this is illegal, yet most of their revenue comes from gaming," he told the company.
The Swedish Gaming Board is now planning to make a thorough investigation as to the whereabouts of gaming-related companies in the country. To provide gaming services without a license is illegal in Sweden and can result in fines and imprisonment for up to two years.
There have been recent complaints that the Board is not sensitive to reports of illegal advertising for gambling in Swedish publications (see previous Online-Casinos.com/InfoPowa report).
