Licensing of betting shops

Open the door to a legal and profitable business in the world of sports betting. A bookmaker’s license gives you a full spectrum of opportunities to successfully enter the gambling market, we advise you on how to obtain it in accordance with current regulations.

  • In Poland, only authorized entities with a special license can offer bookmaking bets. Bookmaking activities are regulated by the Act of November 19, 2009 on gambling. An amendment to the law adopted in late 2016 introduced expanded requirements for entities providing and planning to provide bookmaking services. As a result, the number of bookmakers operating in Poland dropped significantly.
  • Starting a bookmaking business gives access to a market with few competitors. Obtaining a bookmaking license can allow you to become part of a dynamic industry and offer a wide range of bets on events, not just sports. Obtaining the required license is the first step to building a loyal customer base and gaining their trust through a professional approach and proper management.
