Low Bulgaria Viability
The Bulgarian online casino gambling industry has a lot of potential viability
as a new big market for the internet gambling industry – the only problem is the
excessive regulation in the country that is preventing the current gambling
monopolies from making any money. Bulgaria is in a very interesting position
right now because the country is now a part of the European Union and will have
to contend with the European Union’s stance on the restrictive legislation that
not only gives the whole of the market to the Bulgarian companies rather than
the foreign online casinos, but the very strict regulations are actually not
permissive enough to even allow the companies to operate at a profit.
That means that the online casinos are looking a bit perplexed about possible
entry into the Bulgarian market. The Bulgarian sports betting monopoly has
complete control over the online poker industry and sports betting and there is
now a push to allow that same Bulgarian monopoly access to the development and
implementation of online casino games as well. The big problem with the whole
situation though is the fact that the companies are only actually bringing in 15
percent of their money into the company – and that is not even for profits…that
is the percentage used to pay all operating expenses.
Basically, 50 percent of the revenues from the online casino and internet
gambling operations are given back to the players as winnings. Then governmental
taxes and other measures come in at 35 percent, leaving a very small window for
the gambling companies to generate any revenue beyond operating expenses. |
