Online casinos in the Czech Republic

Legal status of digital casinos in the Czech Republic: legal since 2012, requires licence

 

Most forms of online gambling are legal in the Czech Republic, including internet casino gambling.

Online casinos were legalized by the 2012 amendment of the Law on Lotteries1, and in 2016 additional forms of online games of chance were permitted by the 2016 Gambling Act2, which is currently is the main piece of the casino gambling regulation.

/Comment: The new online gambling law was unanimously approved by the Czech senate in May 2016, and it came into in 2017./

Operators, who wish to accept players from the country need to get a licence, and they must be Czech companies (or have a Czech subsidiary).

However, individual cities, regions, or even districts can ban gambling (online and offline) entirely or certain forms, within their jurisdiction. In fact as many as 457 Czech municipalities implemented a total ban on gambling, including Prague’s 2. district.

The number of municipalities banning online gambling is on the rise. However, this does not mean anything for the players, because this s s not enforced on the level of the players. Players are not prosecuted for playing online even if their city banned online gambling, only operators and companies are targeted.

The Czech online gambling sector is horribly mismanaged. Let’s look at some of the reasons for this:

1., Really high taxes (taxation and licensing is discuss below).

2., Face to face verification is required, if you want to play in a Czech online casino licensed in the country (not needed for foreign websites). This is the only country in the world, where you can’t verify your identity online. You have to do the following to be able to play online in any of the licensed gambling websites:

You have to go to a Public Notary, or to the Regional or Municipal Authority,or visit your nearest ‘Czech POINT’ or a municipal office.
You have to bring the following:

  • government issued photographic identification document (Passport or ID Card)
  • a second ID document (Photographic ID, Driver’s Licence, Utility Bill, Travel Card etc. issued in your name)
  • it also costs CZK 200…

 

Then you have to scan the documents they gave you and email it to the online casino.

3., Online casinos can not offer any bonuses, free spins or free money to new players in the Czech Republic.

As you can see, not only do Czech domestic online companies are taxed to death, they also have to force their players to undergo this face2face verification nonsense.

As a consequence of this mismanagement, there are only 3 online gambling companies licensed and registered in the Czech Republic: Synot, Fortuna and Tipsport (+the state owned online lottery), a very small number.

And that is why none of the online casinos I recommend to Czech players are licensed in the country. For now, the best option for Czech gamblers looking to play casino games online are international online casinos (see below). They have better and more games, they have promotions, bonuses, free spins and you don’t need to go through this asinine face to face verification.

Additionally The Czech Republic is a member of the EU, which means Article 56 TEFU3 (EU online gambling directives) applies to the country as well.

UPDATE 2021: Luckily, there is now talk of getting rid of the mandatory face-2-face verification process.

“Denisa Marcekova, head of the Czech & Slovak Internet Gambling Association, said such bank ID checks would be welcomed by operators.

She said: “I strongly believe this is a significant step in the right direction. I hope that the recently launched governmental review of the Czech gambling regulation will result in even smoother access to the market in the near future.”4

 

By scrolling below, you can find a list of online casinos, which accept Czech players.

 

Can tourists play online while visiting Czechia?

Yes, tourist (or non-citizen expats, or illegal migrants) can play online freely while enjoying their stay in the country.

 

Online casino licensing and regulatory body of the Czech Republic: 

In accordance with the new 2016 gambling legislation, online gambling operators who wish to accept players from the Czech Republic, need to apply for a licence at Ministry of Finance. Their website is available in English as well.

Companies are required to maintain a CZK 5 million bank account for paying out winners.

Only companies registered in the Czech Republic can apply fora licence.

Taxation of online casino sites in the Czech Republic: 

The rate of online gambling tax is determined by the Act No. 187/2016 on Gambling Tax5.

The online gambling tax rate is 23%, except in case of technical games and lottery, which are both taxed at a higher 35% tax rate. The tax base is gross winnings of the casino (the amount the casino makes on a player, how much you lose).

/Comment: Technical games means gaming machines (slots and video poker or online slots). Also, taxing gross winnings is a fantastic idea, most countries tax gross gambling revenue instead, this is significantly better, this does not incentivize casinos to make the players lose money./

The gambling tax is paid on top of the usual taxes (e.g.: corporate tax, which is 19%).

 

For the players, taxation of gambling winnings in the Czech Republic:

Gambling winnings were not taxed prior to 2020. However, currently winnings from raffles and lottery are now subject to a 15% withholding tax if they exceed CZK 1 million (per occasion, not total for the whole year).

Winnings from every other type of game of chance are taxed as income (15% income tax applies). The winning stake/bet can be deducted as expense.

Land-based casinos in the Czech Republic

Legal status of casinos in the Czech Republic: legal since 1990, operators require a licence

 

Casinos are legal since 1990 (legalized after the dissolution of the USSR, and when they were still Czechoslovakia).

The law regulating  brick and mortar casinos is the 2016 Gambling Act, and its amendments. The prior casino legislation from the 2012 went against the regulations of the European Union and was revoked.

The Czech Republic is one of the largest hubs for casinos in Central Europe. There are 70 casinos in Czechia, which is a huge number fora country with a population of 10.7 million, to give some context, in comparison nearby Hungary (also has 10 million people, similar GDP per capita) only has 11 casinos.

The reason for the abundance of casinos is twofold:

1., German tourists: Most of the casinos are located near the German-Czech border, for a reason. In Germany the number of casinos is very limited, and they are very expensive places. And that’s why, much to the dismay of the German government, German citizens regularly flock to the less expensive, but just as good, Czech casinos by the border.

Prostitution is also legal in the Czech Republic, that’s why you can often often find young sexy women approaching middle aged and older German men at the casinos (especially if they have just won a lot of money).

2., Slot halls were recently banned, in 2019. And many of the bigger slot halls, instead of closing, simply transformed into casinos.

UPDATE: Slot halls were legal up until 2019. However, due to a 2019 amendment to the Gambling Act, all the slot machines from various pubs, grocery stores and cafés disappeared. In addition, 457 Czech municipalities implemented a total ban on gambling,  including Prague’s 2. district, which includes Vyšehrad and parts of Vinohrady, New Town and Nusle. The number of municipalities which ban gambling entirely is on the rise ever since.

Since slot machines were relegated to licensed gambling establishments in 2019 (and much sooner in certain municipalities) now some of the shadier slot machine companies try to circumvent the new ban by placing so called “kvizomats”, trivia machines all over the country. These are usually multiple choice question machines. Right now they are not considered gambling, but the government is very hostile towards this practice, as it is clearly exploiting a loophole2.

The biggest casino group in the country is Admiral (a subsidiary of the Austrian Novomatic AG). The biggest casino is Admiral Colosseum (see below).

All casino gambling establishments in the Czech Republic must have a casinos licence.

The law currently in effect has been found lacking regarding the negative effects of gambling on individuals, which is supposed to be fixed in a new, upcoming gambling law, because gambling, including problem gambling has been steadily on the rise in the country. This is the reason why 457 Czech municipalities decided to ban casinos.

You can find all the currently operating brick and mortar casinos in the list below.

 

Can locals visit the casinos in the Czech Republic?

Yes, both locals and tourists can play in the casinos.

 

Casino licensing and regulatory body of the Czech Republic:

In accordance with the new 2016 gambling legislation, gambling operators who wish to provide games of chance, or any betting/wagering services, need to apply for a licence at Ministry of Finance. Their website is available in English as well.

UPDATE: The licensing requirements were changed as a response to the overabundance of slot machines and video poker machines, which were installed everywhere by using a loophole in the gambling legislation (the establishments didn’t have licenses, only the companies who put the slot machines there). Since 2019, the establishments where such machines are placed need to have a gambling license too, not just the companies, which service the machines.

Companies are required to maintain a CZK 5 million bank account for paying out winners.

Be careful, the sign on the entrance gate says “Casino Paradise”, but don’t be fooled, you area the right place, the sign is confusing, it refers to Paradise Casino Admiral a.s., which is the name of the company who owns Colosseum Casino (and many other casinos in the country).

This is the largest casino in the Czech Republic right now (in terms of the total number of gaming machines + tables), and it is the flagship venue of the Admiral group in the country (Admiral is big casino company, with many casinos all over Europe and also outside of Europe, it is a subsidiary of the Austrian gambling giant Novomatic AG).

Just like most Czech casinos, the place is full of mostly older German tourists (their Facebook page is available in German only despite this being a Czech casinos, a good example of how the casino is focusing on the German market more than the local one). There are also many “massage” parlours in the neighbourhood, and there are reportedly (according to customer reviews)  many young, sexy women who are trying get “dates” with older German gentlemen in the casino at night.

/Comment: So if you are an older German guy, and if you are approached by a 9/10, 10/10 woman in the casino, now you know why that is. Prostitution is actually legal in the Czech Republic. So, if that’s your thing, and if you have a fat wallet, go for it. Of course the casino denies any knowledge of this, but let’s be honest here…/  

 

Games: around 500 gaming machines (slots, video poker, by far the biggest selection in the country), and around 17 tables  (American Roulette, black jack, Black Jack Switch, Oasis Stud Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold’em) +  20 electronic roulette terminals + Wheel of Fortune

They will also have a poker room and multiple VIP areas. The details of these are not yet known.

Bitcoin casinos in the Czech Republic

Legal status: not specifically regulated

 

Bitcoin is legal in the Czech Republic, and the Czech National Bank has issued several statements regarding the categorization of the virtual currency; the Ministry of Finance also offered legal guidance on trading in Bitcoin.

However, bitcoin is not yet recognized as a currency. This means that none of the land-based gambling establishments can accept bitcoin, litecoin, etherieum etc…

There are also no licensed bitcoin accepting gambling websites in the country. Locals can only use their cryptocurrencies in foreign Bitcoin casinos (see below).

 

 

The following online gambling websites accept players from the Czech Republic:

Thank you for visiting:
This is a selfie of the author and owner of Simon's Casino Gambling Blog, me, Simon András Péter, a.k.a. by the internet pseudonym SimonTheSorcerer, owner of Simon's Online Marketing Kft. This is the homepage of my online casino gambling blog, you can see what's on the website, the links to all the different sections of the website.

That's me, Simon, thank you for visiting.

Don't worry, this is not an ad! ;) Just wanted to make sure to tell you that I'm glad you visited this gambling blog. I'm Simon, the only author and the man behind this blog (if you are interested, my unusual life story can be found on the homepage, under the "About me" dropdown section).
I'm an independent gambling blogger since 2012. In this sector dominated by huge media companies, casino operators and online marketing networks, who can easily spend $ millions on their online gambling blogs, it's not easy for an independent nobody like me to survive. It took me about 6 years, working my ass off, to even have a chance to be noticed by visitors like you. I'm lucky enough that for a few years now, I make enough money to be able to do this full time (before that, I had part-time jobs, ghost writing gigs, online marketing this and that).
Now I can finally do this full time, thanks to visitors like you! And it means a lot! If you are interested, please bookmark this site (no social media profiles, I no longer have any, but please feel free to share anything on any social media networks, if you still use them). I don't have any money to advertise, and if you have a personal blog, any social media profile, please mention my gambling blog and link back to it. This the only way for a small website like this to grow. Thank you!

Logo of Kiva.org. You can read about my non-profit activity right next to the picture.
Charity: As a way to help others, to give back, I sometimes donate to Kiva. If you click on the ads on the website, I make some money. And in a good month, if I make more than my expenses, I donate to people and projects on Kiva.
Kiva helps young entrepreneurs in developing countries, which is an issue close to my heart for obvious reasons. If you have the means, please sign up with the revolutionary non-profit company Kiva.org and help people lift themselves out of poverty, through hard-work, and an initial investment (non-profit loan). These non-profit loans encourage entrepreneurship and hard work instead of creating a dependent class that is afraid to get a job, or start a business (because if they did, they would no longer get support and free money, disincentivizing hard work and entrepreneurship). This is the right way to fight poverty in developing countries (or anywhere else really), and if this is something you are interested in, and if you would like to know more, or to help out, please check out Kiva.org here. Thank you!
