Re: Any of you played on Svenska Spel, the Swedish state-run site?
The reason to play there is the 2.5% rake. I looked at it in the past and figured the rake is still not low enough considering that for the (non-US) players there are looser and/or bigger sites (that also give 30% or more rakeback, or over 100% in cases, if one is propping). Also their heads up rake seems high compared to what it's at many other sites.
As far as I saw, one needs to have the Swedish ID number to get in (though someone seems to disagree and says one only need to be "registered" in Sweden, but that's the same thing). If they will add some other countries, that's nice though why they haven't already done it? Though I think the idea was there already in the past that they would include some more. As far as getting registered, one can do that by moving to Sweden (as easy in Scandinavia as moving inside one's own country) and get registered and get the Swedish ID. Though if one needs a Swedish IP, it won't help, but I am not aware of such a thing and it doesn't look like smart; what's the point? Just some extra "security" for nothing.
