Poland Online Casinos

Gambling in Poland was always an accepted activity and the Poles operated gambling halls and provided their rich with gambling games and places to play them throughout the centuries.

Poland, being sandwiched between Russia and Prussia (Germany), was often affected by those countries and has suffered much turmoil over the centuries. Its gambling laws were also affected by its neighbors and during the days when Poland was part of the communist bloc, all forms of gambling were outlawed in accordance with the communist manifesto.

In the late 1980's with the fall of the soviet bloc the Polish have rediscovered their interest in gambling and land casinos started opening in the big hotels in the major cities.

In 1992 the Polish government tried to regulate the casino industry so a bill was passed that limited the number of casinos that can exists in each town or city based on the population in each area. Places with less of 50,000 inhabitants could no longer have casinos. The Polish government taxes all local gambling activity including the national lottery and sports betting.

Online gambling is unregulated with no local operators as the Polish government does not issue any gambling licenses to online casino operators. They have also issued a ban on international online casino operators, but there is no enforcement of this ban.

Polish players continue to play online without any problems and many international online casinos offer their software and player support in the Polish language, making playing online casino games a breeze for any player from Poland.
