Armenia Intends to Impose Additional Taxes on Bookmakers and Sweepstakes
The Armenian parliament has passed the first reading of state duty amendments that would see duty increased for betting, sweepstakes and online gaming.
According to Deputy Minister of Finance Arman Poghosyan, the problem is that although these companies have been paying tax on profit since 2021, the need for new regulations has arisen, as the sector’s turnover has grown dramatically since 2017- from 140 billion drams to 4.2 trillion drams in the first 9 months of this year ($1 – 395.30 drams).
The amendments call for revising the licenses provided to these companies and introducing a quota system.
In particular, a company organising Internet gambling with the winnings will have to buy from the state the right to accept bets worth 100 billion drams and pay 175 million drams in duty for every 100 billion.
The system for sweepstakes is different – for the right to accept bets of 50 million drams, they will have to pay additionally 5 million drams.
The proposed changes are expected to generate additional revenues of 10 billion drams annually, except for 2023, as the law is to enter into force on July 1.

Play’n GO has today announced the official US release of its hit title Colt Lightning Firestorm, following a three-week period of exclusivity with Rush Street Interactive brands BetRivers and SugarHouse.
Colt Lightning Firestorm was released in Europe and other jurisdictions in May 2024, and its release in the US comes with much fanfare following the game’s rave reviews in its short exclusivity period.

This announcement sees Colt Lightning Firestorm available to players in each state and operator with whom Play’n GO is licensed. Play’n GO first entered the online casino market in the US in 2022, and has reiterated its commitment to becoming active in every regulated market around the world.
