Poker ban in Sweden?

[sudharshan]

I’m reading that France is following the U.S.A and banning online poker! They are going to criminalize transferring money to and from the poker rooms, just like they are doing in America. This is very surprising, because I know that the relations between France and the U.S are not very good! Why did they decide to do this? And do you think this will happen in the rest of the E.U and in Sweden?

As a lawyer I can tell you that they will have to make it illegal in each E.U country individually in order to make it hard for European players to find online rooms.
And I can also tell you that you are wrong, Americans are having a hard time finding places to play because they can be easily recognized.

I think the spreading of the online gambling issue has been dominating the online gamblers, but i dont understand why they are banning the online poker.

Even me I don't see any significant reason to banned online poker. Since its only an online stuff which could make an alternative for others who don't want to spend much more time going on a casino.

I think most governments dont like online betting because its hard to keep up with their taxes...

So its like their penalizing everybody else because the cant implement a fair taxation service.
