Bulgarian Sports Clubs Protest Against Plans to Shut Casinos
Sports clubs in Bulgaria have protested against the Government’s plans to forcibly close nearly 600 casino venues across the country. The sports clubs said that government plans to shutter the casinos nationwide as part of a clampdown on gambling threatened their survival and called for a rethink.
Gambling companies are major sponsors of Bulgarian soccer champions Ludogorets, Cup holders Lokomotiv Plovdiv as well as lower division clubs, volleyball and basketball teams and competitions.
Earlier this month, a junior coalition partner in Bulgaria’s centre-right government, the nationalist NFSB, submitted a bill to parliament which would ban all casinos except at five-star hotels in about 10 holiday resorts. Under the plan, nearly 600 casinos and other betting venues would be closed by 2025 as part of efforts to tackle corruption and curb gambling among young people.
“The changes threaten the existence of many clubs,” Ludogorets said in a statement on Sunday, which followed similar declarations by many sports clubs.
The Bulgarian basketball federation said the gambling law changes would “inflict an extremely heavy blow” to Bulgarian sport. The Bulgarian Gambling Association said any changes should be subject to a broad discussion and assessed for their possible impact on industry and the state budget.
NFSB party leader Valeri Simeonov described the plans as a “second step against the pandemic of gambling addiction” following an earlier ban on private lotteries.
“I hope we will do a good job in the interests of Bulgarian society,” Simeonov said.

Amusnet Donates a New RFID System to Sofia Library
Reading Time: < 1 minute
In the heart of Sofia, on Slaveykov Square, there is a place where generations have sought and found knowledge, inspiration and silence — the Sofia Library. For almost a century, it has been a magnetic centre for everyone eager to learn and explore.
On its 97th anniversary, the library took another step forward from tradition to the future. Its doors now open not only to the world of literature but also to the digital era, thanks to a new RFID system donated by the Bulgarian software company Amusnet.
The system, installed at the library’s main entrance, enhances security by preventing the unauthorised removal of valuable editions. Yet its importance goes far beyond that. It lays the foundation for the complete modernisation of the processes within this 97-year-old institution.
“The Sofia City Library is part of the cultural memory of our city. We are honored to contribute to its digital transformation so it can continue to inspire generations to come,” said representative of Amusnet.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that enables contactless recognition and tracking of objects. In libraries, it is applied through microchip tags placed on each book. Unlike traditional barcodes, RFID can read and record information regardless of the tag’s position, surrounding environment or visibility. This allows for faster processing, automated sorting and inventory checks without the need to remove books from the shelves.
Readers can now easily borrow and return books independently, while librarians can focus on what matters most — the connection between people and knowledge.
Welcoming thousands of visitors each month, the Sofia Library continues to evolve. The introduction of RFID technology marks a new beginning which bridges tradition and innovation.
