The player, whom SVT chose to call "Johan", was a so-called VIP customer of Betsson and according to the district court he played in a way that indicated that he had a gambling problem. However, the court did not consider this to be reason enough to declare "Johan's" agreement with the company, i.e. his gambling, invalid.
Per Holknekt, entrepreneur and former compulsive gambler, has sued the gaming company Unibet and will also sue Betsson. He appeared on Thursday in Aktuellt and believes that the district court's decision is "sad."
"The court doesn't understand the disease, and it's no wonder, it's complex.
"If you go into the pub drunk and order 27,000 gins and tonics, the bar owner should probably tell you not to drink there today.
SVT has invited both Betsson and Unibet to Aktuellt, but both have declined to participate.
