If you are an avid casino player or a newcomer who wants to try new opportunities in the casino world, such as foreign casinos, you are not alone. Foreign casinos refer to casinos that are not licensed by the Swedish Gambling Inspectorate and therefore have different rules. Most casinos are licensed by gambling inspectors in other countries, and if you find a casino that does not have any license, it is best to choose one of the many existing casinos that qualify for a license.
One of the differences between utländska casino and casinos with a Swedish license is that registration is not done through BankID. Usually you need to fill out a registration form where you provide: your name, residential address, email address, date of birth and phone number. This is done on the casino website and allows you to start playing. But foreign casinos often ask you to send copies of your ID or other verifiable documentation, such as your electricity bill. Once you register and your identity is verified, you are free to choose between the bonuses the casino offers and then decide what your deposit amount is.
Payment methods.
Foreign casinos offer more payment methods than Swedish casinos. In addition to card payments with VISA, e-wallets have become a popular option. If you play at foreign casinos, deposits and withdrawals can take some time and there may be a withdrawal fee, but this is something that is constantly improving. Another option is a regular bank transfer or directly through Trustly, for example, if you're not sure you can use prepaid bank cards like PaySafecard. Deposits and withdrawals are usually the same, so make sure the casino actually offers withdrawals in the way you made the payment.
If you're going to make a payment from an overseas casino, keep in mind that winnings outside of the EU are taxed at 30%. There are several tax-free licenses in the EU and EEA. The best known are the MGA from Malta, the UKGC from the UK and the EMTA from Estonia. There is also a relatively new license issued by Cyprus and then the Gibraltar license, which is not as common because it is expensive compared to the others. Outside the EU and EEA, licenses are issued by countries such as Curaçao, Isle of Man and Macau, and profits are taxed.
