The press release by the Sejm readS: "The new rules are also likely to increase the protection of players, including minors, from the negative effects of gambling and increase tax revenues from legal gambling. The Act, among other things, expands the list of games that can be offered on the internet, of which virtually all will be gambling.”
The Association of Employers and Employees of Bookmakers commented that they feel the law was important in minimizing lost revenues. Every year, the association claimed, the Treasury loses USD 1,4 billion in potential tax revenue due to illegal gambling activities.
The law, which it is hoped by legislators, will reduce black market gambling by clearly delineating restricted areas of gambling and identifying entities that do not pay taxes. It will now go before the Senate for possible approval.
