Obtaining a Permit to Operate Mutual Betting – Sprint or Marathon?
Obtlaining a permit to operate mutual betting is a process that requires meeting numerous forma and capital conditions, typically taking up to six months. A license can only be granted to a joint-stock company or a limited liability company based in Poland (or an EU/EFTA company operating through a representative in Poland) that can document the legality of its capital, the absence of tax arrears, and compliance with the Gambling Act requirements. Despite comprehensive regulations, the grey market continues to operate in the background, raising questions about the effectiveness of law enforcement and the need to establish a specialized supervisory authority.
