THE EFFECTS OF THE ONLINE GAMING PROHIBITION IN POLAND

Poland has just decided that games of chance outside casino will be forbidden.
This law means that online casinos and online poker rooms are not allowed in that country.
Moreover, many slot machines have already been removed from bars and other establishments.

However, this decision can affect very badly the Polish football teams, many of which are sponsored by online game rooms. If those teams lose their sponsorship it could derive in a big crisis in the football industry in that country.

THE AUSTRALIA ‘S EXAMPLE

The only online gambling modality allowed in Australia is the sport betting, but everything seems to indicate that this country will approve soon a new legislation that will allow the creation of national online games companies, including online casino games and poker rooms.


This legislation change is due to the fact that Australians spend an average of £388 million a year playing at online poker rooms and online casinos, which makes clear that this industry could be a great source of resources to the country.

POLONIA’S EXAMPLE

Donald Tusk, Poland prime minister, has just announced that in two weeks time it will be approved a new law whose aim is to finish with the games and gambling outside casinos, including online gaming and even advertising.

This decision is against the growing European tendency of legalizing the game industry, including online casinos and online poker rooms.
Examples of more progressive countries regarding the game sector are United Kingdom and France, even though every day are more the countries that realize of the income that could be generated by this industry, which explain the tendency toward its regulation.
