Polish Online Casino Laws Called Out

Foreign online casino gambling companies are breathing a mini sigh of relief this week as the European Commission cited the Polish government for its non-compliant drafted internet gambling regulations. The Eastern European internet gambling market has been a hot topic over the past few months because of hopes that European online casinos can easily expand their presence into these new markets. But Poland’s draft regulations are following in line with the protected Western European countries that still continue to create a problem for the European Commission even though the Commission has issued years of warnings, threats, and citations. The Polish regulations clearly are aimed at giving favorable access to Polish based companies and vie for an unfair share of the licensing market as well.

The precise issues that the Commission had with the online casino gambling policies include specifications that any internet gambling site operating in Poland would not only have to operate off of servers within the country, but the gaming site would also need to prove financial contribution to the Polish economy as well. These restrictions would unfairly keep online casinos that have jumped through the regulatory hoops in other countries from accessing Polish players despite the EU policies in place regard the free trade and commerce between all EU member sites.

The Polish officials have not yet noted how they plan to alter the regulations to meet the compliance demands of the European Commission, but the foreign online casino industry is naturally worried that Poland will follow suite with France and pass the controversial regulations as is despite concerns and objections from the Commission.
