Will the Slovaks liberalize their iGaming market? And does it make sense to wait for any new laws? Our deep-dive into the Slovak market takes a closer look at the reality on the ground and how you can profit from it.

In May 2018, the Slovak government announced a planned liberalization of its restrictive iGaming laws.

This change would abolish the current state-owned monopoly on online casinos and it is hoped it will attract foreign operators. The plan is still in its early stages, but the detail released so far suggests the change will come into force in 2019, with a planned 23% tax on revenue.
