Swedish Government-Controlled Online Poker Room Launches
Since November of last year there have been announcements that Svenska Spel, a government-owned gaming company in Sweden, would be launching an online poker site. Today, the long-awaited Internet poker room makes its debut, becoming the first ever government-owned and licensed online poker room in history. With about 140 licensed gaming companies owned by different governments around the world, the Swedes have set a precedent, which, if followed, would likely revolutionize the world of online gaming.
