THE SLOVAKS BAN/REGULATE GAMBLINE - INCLUDING ONLINE GAMBLING
More European resistance against gambling on the internet
Following closely on the Hungarian sovereignty issue, Intefax reported further attempts in Slovakia to raise taxes through gambling and retain State control.
The Slovakian moves follow restrictive legislation proposals in the Russian Duma regarding gambling advertising, and the Hungarian moves to stop cross-border gambling interfering with its State gambling monopoly.
Intefax reported that the Slovak Cabinet has approved a bill on gambling introducing new regulations for lotteries, betting, and games played on machines in gambling clubs, or on the Internet. The new law also raises the tax on gambling.
The anti gambling law is part of a government attempt to better regulate gambling by replacing the current legislation, which has been amended several times and is open to interpretation. An estimated 19,000 workers are employed in the gambling industry in Slovakia. The sector posted sales of almost SKK 29 billion last year.
The gambling bill must now pass the Slovak parliament, but could become law early in early 2005.
