Online gambling in Poland
Yet to introduce any online gambling specific laws or regulations, Poland was described by a European Parliament committee study conducted in 2008 as passively allowing online gambling. Despite a lack of on point regulations advertising campaigns for online gambling services have become prominent, in spite of the fact that technically speaking the advertising of gambling services is probably still illegal.
New gambling laws were promised by the government in 2006 and these laws were to include provisions for online gambling regulation. Curiously a draft gambling bill published by Poland’s Finance Ministry at the end of 2008 failed to address online gambling but most experts believe the current government’s desire to comply with the EC Treaty should see the necessary amendments or additions to the proposed law to provide a regulatory and taxation regime for online operators by 2009.
To check any updates on Polish online gambling laws or regulations visit the Ministry of Finance website.
Regardless of the legislative movements, few EU based online gambling operators place restrictions on Polish player access. Few however (with live dealer casino) offer Zloty banking options.
