Just look at Unibet. There is no railing the tables. In fact the client is exactly the same for Sweden and ROW. The only difference is there 3 mandatory "dont play to much buttons" ;)

Yeah we probably wont be able to join the streamR program just like the UK.

There is nothing specific in the regulation that mentions rakeback. The reason for Partypoker and Pokerstars not offering us swedish players rakeback is unknown as far as I know. I also heard that MPN is still offering swedish players rakeback as well, so MPN + Unibet is still offering.

I will also be playing on RIO if they offer us the same rakeback as everyone else.

Well i guess we can always watch on twitch.

Congrats!
Watching from the side lines here in Sweden.

Congrats on the upcoming release on wednesday! ;)

Any new updates for us swedes regarding the license? Have you applied to Lotteriinspektionen yet?

Regards
All the swedish poker players.

I am also from Sweden, this was my first thought as well, we got lucky here.

I am going to guess that most of the comments will be about the rakeback system. I kind of like it to be honest, sounds fun.
I will instead comment on the rake percentage.

Why is the rake percent higher for lower stakes in NLH? Also 4.5% rake Feels a bit to high for small stakes PLO even with splashed pots. Any reason why the rake is not maybe 3.5% or 4% at least (at lower stakes).

So as someone that has been streaming on and off on twitch the news regarding the streamR program is really awesome. However i would probably start streaming again today already (to get a head start for when RIO goes live) if i knew that i would be able to play on release.

So i just want to know if there is any updates regarding the Swedish license that will be required in 6 weeks. As far as i know it is quite similar to the UK license but the tax is lower in Sweden so it guess that aspect wont be problem?

What a bummer, would love to play on a Linux os.

Community manager posting on 2+2.

Well Sweden is not on the excluded list that was posted a few months ago. But i guess it will still be excluded january 1st then?

January 1st 2019 sweden will regulate their market. I did not see Run it once on the list of pokersites that applied for a license. Does that mean Sweden (and large potential player base) will be excluded just in time for Run it once poker to launch?

Because slotmachines/arcade games never had any people playing for fun?

camikaze007 I am sure you wrong about visuals not being important. Visuals is very important, just like functionality. I am 100% sure i am not alone when i say that i stay away from several networks and sites based on just visuals even though the they might be better in other areas (such as rake, fish-ratio or even functionality.)

I saw that you already adressed the tilted cards Nick but i really want you guys to know how many people dislike them, me included. Just head over the twoplustwo forum and take a look in the thread there. Almost everyone is disliking the tilted cards. To be honest i am not sure how you missed this with the current testers. Is there any feature or thought put into the cards being tilted or why did they end up like that?

Not sure where i read it but that the option to switch between layouts and cards wont be finished until after launch. So before that we will not be able to change the layout. But i am guessing it migth be possible to just swap the pics in the folders to change background however the settings menu wont be finished in time.

I am going to guess you play more then 6+ tables. If so are you saying this because whats best for you or whats best for the pokersite and online poker as a whole. My gut feeling makes me think you like to play a lot of tables.

Yeah... zoom only would be like the worst decision ever. I and a lot of other people dont like the zoom format at all and will just play on other sites. I am quite sure Phil and the others know this.

Here is what i am predicting about this topic: A lot of vocal people advocating for 6 table cap beacuse that is what is best for them but not for the games or onlinepoker. I would like for people reading this topic to think about that.

Also yeah i am all for a 4table cap and i think that will be great for onlinepoker and the cashgames in the long run. Multitablers will have to learn to adapt to new rules in order online poker to survive!

I much rather prefer the 4 table option and will vote on that one. So tired of playing against people timebanking every other hand and decision because they are multitabling. I Think that with 4 tables this will almost never happen. Truly hope this option will win, it is best for the games.
