Czech Republic plans to tax unlicensed online gaming operators
Operators in the Czech Republic are scrambling to seek legal advice and see what this actually means for their companies; some think it might not be worthwhile to pay the tax, and would pull out of the Czech market altogether.
Czech Licensing Requirements
As of now, one of the current licensing requirements in the Czech Republic is that a company must establish a physical presence in the country. However, last year the Czech Republic had announced plans to amend its current licensing requirements to enable companies to gain a license without having to meet this requirement. This would enable more remote companies to gain licensing. The new tax is also another step in encouraging operators to obtain licensing; but the costs might just be too high and end up driving them away.
