Monopolet borta

Det danska monopolet har nu försvunnit och istället inför man ett licenssystem som gör att utländska aktörer kan verka på dansk mark. Detta är också något som diskuterats i Sverige av bl a sossarna under sommaren på Gotland. När blir det vår tur? Jag skulle tro att det bara är en tidsfråga innan vi tar efter Danmark och ser det som positivt.

         Major Operator Bet24.com celebrates the fall of the monopoly in
                                    Denmark!
        - After nine months of processing the EU-commission has today
        approved the new Danish gambling legislation, which is expected
        to liberalise the gambling market per 1st January 2012.

        "It's a historical day, as the ancient Danish gambling monopoly
        will now finally be replaced by a licensing system. More gambling
        operators will therefore soon gain access to the new and more
        consumer friendly Danish market. Bet24 has been looking forward
        to this day for more than 10 years now and we are excited to be
        competing on equal terms within an open market", says Thomas
        Petersen, CEO of Bet24.

        In the coming months, the new legislation will be implemented.
        Licenses will be applied for, processed and issued. However, the
        official press release from the Danish Tax and Customs
        Administration still anticipates a liberalisation to be in effect
        per 1st January 2012.

        "The liberalisation of the Danish gambling market has been long
        underway and Bet24 has followed the developments closely to be
        prepared for the market opening. We look forward to welcoming
        even more Danes to Bet24. New as well as existing Bet24 customers
        can look forward to several exciting activities in 2012", says
        Thomas Petersen, CEO of Bet24.

        Bet24 celebrates the historical day with 100% payout, which means
        the highest odds in the world on this weekend's Superliga matches
