However, the state treasury has said that the proposed change was &ldquo;not reasonable&rdquo; because it would oblige companies that have no business in Sweden to adopt measures to block Swedish customers. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">On top of that, the Administrative Court in Link&ouml;ping said it was unclear whether the Swedish government actually had the power to adopt such a measure and the Public Prosecutor&rsquo;s Office said it would be &ldquo;very difficult to investigate and prosecute&rdquo;.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">The government concluded that the change would risk putting the focus <em>&ldquo;on whether players are resident or permanently resident in Sweden, instead of on whether the games are adapted for the Swedish mar<\/em>ket&rdquo;.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">It added that &ldquo;<em>there are still strong reasons to allow the Gambling Act&rsquo;s current scope of application to be developed through practice before it may be relevant to consider an extension&rdquo;.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">As for the topic of match-fixing, the government proposes to allow gambling licensees and sports bodies to process personal data to check if sportspeople are not insider betting. It also proposes a clearer definition of &ldquo;match-fixing&rdquo; was necessary. The changes would come into effect from July 1 next year.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"background-color:white\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\"><span style=\"color:black\">No Copyright infringement intended.
