Poland’s sports bettors may have another online wagering option, while at least one international operator is getting creative in its attempts to evade the country’s digital censors.
This week, a number of Polish gambling affiliates reported that the country’s Ministry of Finance had issued its 15th online sports betting license to a company called Polski Bukmacher, which literally translates as ‘Polish bookmaker.’ The company reportedly plans to operate under the Noblebet.pl and OKbet.pl domains.
However, while the reports claim the new license was issued on January 3, the Ministry’s official list of online betting licensees still shows only 14 names, and neither of the above domains is active. So perhaps take these reports with a grain of salt.
Poland’s online sports betting licensees saw their share of the local online betting market rise eight points to 48% in 2018, according to the Ministry’s preliminary figures.
