PokerStars, which is currently based in Costa Rica, has secured a licence from the Isle of Man Government and plans to move to the island later this year. [/ QUOTE ] Couldnīt they have moved to somewhere within the union? Oh well, there are other sites to play at. |

Winnings from sites based within the EU are tax free while winnings from sites outside the EU are not. Iīm not 100% sure, but I think Isle of Man is not considered to be in the EU while Gibraltar is. |

Re: Pokerstars moving to Europe
I understood that the IoM was in the EU single market but not a member state as its one of those curious "dependencies" of the British Crown which isn't seen as part of the UK but isn't a seperate nation state either. It certainly has some relationship with the EU economically. So you might be OK in Sweden.

Re: Pokerstars moving to Europe
With the tax rules being what they are, there is no reason for a card room to be based outside Europe. The north americans are not affected at all, while Pokerstars will go from being taxed to being taxfree for most europeans.
