Poland’s online sports bettors will soon have another wagering option after French operator Betclic Everest was issued a local license.

On September 26, Poland’s Ministry of Finance updated its list of online sports betting licensees to include BEM Operations Ltd, a subsidiary of France’s Betclic Everest Group. The list now contains 10 government-approved online betting operators.

Betclic Everest domains had previously enjoyed prominent placement on Poland’s rapidly expanding blacklist of forbidden online gambling sites (which added nearly 500 domains last month alone). The last Betclic domains were added to the blacklist in July.

Poland’s regulated online market restricts licensees to sports betting only, as online casino products have been reserved for the state-run Totalizator Sportowy lottery business. Poland taxes its sports betting licensees at a punitive rate of 12% of betting turnover, which many international operators believe makes the Polish market a non-starter.
