Yes, every swede should out themself because they are legally obligated to pay taxes on their winnings.
I have no idea what "praxis form" even means and I'm too lazy to google it... Anyway yes, I think they can be sure that their winnings will be taxed in a reasonable way.

How many swedes do you really think pay taxes on their winnings on sites outside EU?
Probably not too many.

How many high rollers do you think contacts skatteverket and glady volunteers to pay taxes on their winnings?
Probably majority of them, because it's not easy/practical at all to make significant amount of money (talking high 6 figures or more) and hide it from tax agency. It would pretty much require that
nobody except you knows you are making money, and you couldn't even spend it on anything expensive like apartment.

It'ss not like you will go to jail if they discover you should have been paying more taxes... No not in Sweden. They will request that taxes are paid. So IF you never out yourself it will be some less evidence of who it is behind the screenname actually winning.
Making an effort trying to hide your income from tax agency
is a crime.

The gains of staying incognito on a personal level are evident. Your logic is flawed
Every finnish mid/highstakes regular I know are paying taxes for their winnings for non-EU sites, because the risk/reward for not doing it just isn't there.
You could use the same logic to claim that every swedish business man is committing a tax fraud, because the gains on personal level are evident.
Maybe this should be moved to a different topic (or PMs) if you still want to continue this discussion... this is derailing the thread a bit too much.
