Bulgaria Gaming Licenses

Bulgaria  allows businesses to offer gaming services for both land-based and online operations, provided they meet the licensing requirements under the Gaming Act, 2018. At VOSS Gaming and Consultancy, we specialize in assisting businesses with the setup, licensing, and compliance processes necessary to operate legally and successfully in Bulgaria’s regulated gambling market.

Bulgaria is a favorable jurisdiction for gaming operators due to:

• Competitive licensing fees and tax structures.
• A well-regulated market that supports land-based and online operations.
• Alignment with EU directives, simplifying operations for EU-based companies.

Whether you’re looking to launch a new venture or expand your existing business, Bulgaria offers a stable legal framework and a growing gambling market.

The Gambling Act outlines the types of gambling activities that may be licensed and legally offered in Bulgaria:

• Lottery Games: Including traditional lottery, digital lotteries, toto, loto, bingo, keno, and their variations.
• Sports Betting: On events such as sports matches, horse races, and dog races.
• Random Event Betting: Wagers on outcomes of events not related to sports.
• Skill-Based Betting: Games requiring knowledge or skill, such as trivia-based contests.
• Casino Games: Including roulette, poker, and other card games.

The State Commission of Gambling serves as the main regulatory body, responsible for supervising and licensing gambling activities in Bulgaria. This includes oversight of both online and land-based operations, gaming equipment providers, and compliance with the Gambling Act’s requirements.
