Although the US is currently the biggest country with the most effect on the online gambling community since the ban they imposed in 2006, Sweden maybe next to follow suit. In talks last week it appears as though Sweden may be the next country to pose a serious control on online gambling and online casinos.

While the US took the approach of banning online casinos and online bets almost entirely the Swedes plan to take a tad of a lighter approach on the situation. However still an approach that would majorly affect the online gambling community as a whole. The Swedish National Gambling Consultation group made a strong sanction that the Swedish government should not permit its population to gamble online in casinos that are not based out of Sweden.

If this were to go through it would lead to a ban on all other international websites that would have anything at all to do with playing for money or making any sort of wager at an online casino that is based out of anywhere in the world other than Sweden.

Similarly to the situation in the US this would ensure that Swedish banks and other financial institutions would also stop accepting any transaction with online casinos that begin with Swedish rooted citizens.

However, Swedish people that enjoy online gambling should not worry just yet. Many that are opposed this decision say that since Sweden is part of the EU it would be unlawful for them to outcast themselves like this due to the EU competition act and a decision like this would need to be made by the EU not just the Swedish government.

Online casino, Europa Casino has recently decided and revealed that they will be adding over 15 new payment and transaction options for their players and members to choose from. The new payment options will have connections with various banks and popular payment selection with people in certain regions within certain countries and cities.

All the options that this online casino will be launching are secure methods for players to add money into their online casino accounts and play at all the exciting games and tournaments. The online casino also reports that these methods are equally as safe for direct withdrawals. Several methods work instantly which means players can decide to deposit funds into their accounts and the money will be there to use as they like within minutes.

It is reported that accounts with the secondary companies that process the payment sometimes take a couple days to set up and confirm. And while this may seem like a long time the online casino is saying that everything they do is in the interest of their members and their safety so these are simply precautions so that nothing has the opportunity of going wrong in the future.

Several payment options are geared simply to people in certain countries. There are a few that will only operate with those out of the UK, another that will only accept people from Australia and one that will only deal with customers based in Germany.

The online casino says they are very excited to bring more options and convenience to their players and are looking forward to an exciting year to come.

The online casino group 32Red is happy to announce that one of their winners is lucky enough to hit a big jackpot not once but twice within a short duration of time at one of their online casino extensions Dash Casino. Both wins happened on the same exact slot game and were both sums that were over the 10,000 dollar mark. The winner was lucky enough to hit the jackpots within a matter of 5 months.

The winner who is from Canada was lucky and felt so when she hit a big jackpot playing the game in June of this year. She was playing the Lots of Loot game when she saw all the symbols come together and form her big win. But she didn’t stop there- this being one of her favourite games to play online she continued on and only a short 5 months later Kelly hit it again on the same game in November.

The casino manager said that while many players are lucky to hit big jackpots at their online casino it is really rare that they see the same exact player hit two large jackpots especially on the same exact game and in such a short duration of time in between wins, he also mentioned that he and his team are very happy for her and wish her only luck in the future as she continues to play the game.

The only question now is, can Kelly make third times a charm? When asked she did say that she plans to continue to play and says she has just as good chances as anyone else to hit the big jackpot yet another time. After all what is the point of playing if you don’t believe that you can win?
