Slovakia Publishes Groundbreaking Report on Illegal Online Gambling

The Institute for Gambling Regulation in Slovakia (IPRHH) has published the country’s first comprehensive report dedicated to illegal gambling. The study, titled The Black Book of Illegal Gambling, was officially presented at Bratislava’s Einpark and is now publicly available online.
The landmark publication explores the structure, mechanisms, and social impact of illegal gambling operations in Slovakia, with a particular focus on unlicensed online platforms. According to the report, these operators bypass national regulations, exploit vulnerable groups, and deprive the state of hundreds of millions of euros annually in lost tax revenue.
Key Findings From the Report
The study is based on a nationally representative survey conducted by IPRHH in cooperation with the Slovak Academy of Sciences. Among the most striking results:
-
23.7% of players – nearly 296,000 Slovaks – admitted to gambling on unlicensed platforms.
-
24.1% of players could not determine whether the sites they used were legal.
-
Younger users and those with lower levels of education were the most likely to engage in illegal gambling.
-
13.1% of users admitted to gambling illegally because they were listed in the national Register of Excluded Persons (RVO), which should block them from licensed gambling.
“These sites ignore every safeguard that licensed operators must follow,” explained Dávid Lenčéš, Executive Director of IPRHH. “There are no limits, no identity checks, and no protection against addiction. And if you lose money, you have no legal recourse.”
Why Players Choose Illegal Platforms
Survey respondents highlighted several reasons for using unlicensed gambling sites:
-
Higher bonuses (32.5%)
-
Better odds (29.5%)
-
Easier registration (29.1%)
-
Wider game selection (27.4%)
Shockingly, only 42.2% of players actively check for a Slovak license, while 43.2% cannot distinguish between legal and illegal gambling advertisements.
Policy Recommendations
The IPRHH warns that illegal gambling costs Slovakia hundreds of millions of euros each year, money that could otherwise support healthcare, education, and addiction prevention programs.
The institute recommends a multi-pronged strategy to combat illegal operators, including:
-
More effective blocking of unlicensed websites
-
Stronger cooperation with banks and payment providers to block transactions
-
A national public awareness campaign
-
Stable conditions for licensed operators who contribute to the economy
Lenčéš also cautioned against excessive taxation of legal operators:
“If governments dramatically increase taxes on licensed operators, they risk pushing players further into the illegal market. Regulation should protect the public, not unintentionally support criminal ecosystems.”
About IPRHH
The Institute for Gambling Regulation (IPRHH) was founded in 2024 to promote effective, transparent, and responsible gambling regulation in Slovakia. Led by Executive Director Dávid Lenčéš, former Chairman of the Slovak Gambling Regulatory Authority, the organization works to address modern challenges such as digitalization, illegal gambling, and player protection.
The full report, The Black Book of Illegal Gambling, is available for free download (in Slovak) here: Download Report. An English version is currently in preparation.
