Czech Republic: Government to allow online sports betting

Altough it plans to maintain a hard stance on Internet casinos 

(Czech Republic).- The Finance Ministry plans to set rules that would legalize Internet sports 
betting for the first time, and those rules "should be worked out by mid-2006 at the latest," says 
Finance Ministry spokesman Jaroslav Ruzek.

Czechs who want to place a healthy wager on their country’s chances at the soccer World Cup in 
Germany this June might be able to do so from the comfort of their own homes. The country 
currently does not allow any form of gambling online. This includes online casinos, which feature 
poker, blackjack and roulette and online sports books. Czechs wanting to wager have traditionally 
turned to regular casinos, Herna bars and betting shops. Analysts say the reason for the apparent 
rush to allow online sports betting is simple: The government wants to cash in on tax revenue 
during what is arguably the world’s largest sporting event, the World Cup.

"The World Cup is so big an event that even those who never bet will do so then," says František 
Trantina, marketing director of Fortuna, a Czech sports book company. "There’s going to be a 
tremendous wave of interest in this tournament, and even if it will fade away a bit after the last 
match, the gaming companies want to get the most from it." 

Its new regulations would still prohibit online casinos and could ban foreign online gaming 
companies from having Czech customers, however, the ministry is not saying much about how it would 
do that.
Gambling industry officials say that the new regulations will block foreign companies from 
operating in the country, but the ministry has only said it will not make online casinos legal.

The ministry originally banned Czech companies from creating online casinos in an effort to keep 
minors from using them and because such sites are not transparent. But in recent years, the 
country has seen an infusion of foreign companies answering demand for such sites. At least eight 
foreign online casino companies have Web pages written in Czech, according to the Finance 
Ministry. Some of the companies have even advertised inside the Czech Republic.

"The interest of foreign companies in the Czech market is understandable," Trantina says. "We have 
roughly 100,000 players here. It is easy prey for them." Czechs spend roughly 12 billion us $504 
million on gambling annually, and the Finance Ministry estimates that us$ 75 million of it went to 
foreign on-line casinos in 2005.

Legitimate gambling companies here are against the presence of foreign e-gambling companies 
because Web sites located abroad do not have to follow the same rules. To take any bet, companies 
are required by law to get a Finance Ministry permit, pay taxes and be open to state monitoring - 
rules with which no foreign Internet gambling company complies.

"Anything offering any difference is better than what the situation looks like today," says Zdenìk 
Zikmund, spokesman for Sazka, the country’s largest gambling company. "We consider the activities 
of foreign e-gaming companies in the Czech Republic illegal."
