In June 2016, a new gambling law was adopted in the Czech Republic. Effective January 1, 2017. Suppliers who want to make their luck games available to Czech customers must apply for a license in the future. Providers without a concession are to be blocked by the internet providers. In addition, Casino games strict tax levies are foreseen and as few licenses as possible. At the end of 2016, William Hill became the first prominent gaming player in the Czech market.

Lucky games are particularly popular in the Czech Republic. As in many European countries, however, providers have been moving in a gray zone. The market was not regulated, but foreign companies were not.
