PokerRoom refuses Swedes and Costa Ricans

[Urban]

I just tried to sign up to PokerRoom and I couldn't. The signup page did not have Sweden as a choice and they had this note at the end of the page: "Residents of Costa Rica and Sweden are prohibited by law from playing PokerRoom.com's games for real money."
Anyone know which law they are talking about? I just checked one of their skins, HollywoodPoker, and they had nothing against us Swedes...
