Swedish MP Carl Nordblom has called for a review of the country’s recently increased gambling tax to boost the channelisation rate.

The Moderate Party politician tabled the motion in Sweden’s parliament yesterday (2 October) alongside several others that would aim to re-examine Swedish gambling law.

It follows the country increasing the gambling tax in July, from 18% to 22%, in a move that trade bodies warned would be a boon to the black market.
