Since February 13th Swedish and Finnish players will be moved from PokeStars.COM to PokerStars.EU software. The reason for this is that PokerStars has gotten a license in Malta (where many other betting companies also have their license), which makes all winnings tax free. There is no difference when it comes to tournaments, cash games etc, so players from Finland and Sweden can still take part in, for example, Sunday Million and play against the same players as on PokerStars.COM.

How will it work?
Once you log on to your PokerStars account you will receive detailed instructions and your current balance, cash balance, FPPs, VIPs, and VIP status, will automatically be moved over. And once the software update is done you are good to go again!
