Refining Czech Republic's gambling laws
The Czech Republic is updating its Gambling Act, introducing measures for increased player safety, expanding legal gambling options, and implementing stricter rules against illegal online gambling
A draft amendment to the Czech Republic's Gambling Act aims to enhance the country's current gambling legislation, increase player safety, and expand legal gambling options.
A crucial feature is a 'panic button', enabling players to immediately block themselves from gambling with any operator for 48 hours, with the option for self-exclusion for longer periods.
The law introduces more rigorous blocking of illegal online gambling and provides for legal live dealer games.
Adjustments are made to deposit licence applicants' payments as part of their certification process.
Also, more precise definitions will be given to certain gambling elements, and rules will be added to regulate payout of winnings and the termination of player accounts.
