CHERRY FORECASTS POSITIVE FUTURE FOLLOWING THE GOVERNMENT'S
DECISION ON INTERNET POKER
Cherry, owners of the English gaming company Betsson welcomes the Governments decision
to give Svenska Spel the go-ahead to start an Internet poker service.
- Through this decision the monopoly is weakened further, as communicated by legal experts in a
paper released from the Gambling Commission says Pontus Lindwall CEO for Cherry.
The decision is expected to lead to an increased demand and an increased interest in online poker.
The decision will benefit the poker operations of Betsson, since Betsson has much higher pay out
ratios and service levels than Svenska Spel, together with far more experience in internet games says
Pontus Lindwall. However, one is surprised how Svenska Spel and the Government are not afraid to
increase gaming interest in this country concludes Pontus Lindwall.
In addition, Cherry and Betsson have applied for permission from the Government to run amongst other
things, online poker.
