Higher Tax Proposal Rejected

The Bulgarian government has decided not to proceed with a proposal that would have raised the gaming tax rate to 30%.

The proposal was among several regulatory measures under discussion, but authorities ultimately chose not to adopt the higher tax rate.

Comprehensive Review of the Gaming Act

Instead of introducing additional tax increases and broader advertising restrictions, the government has announced a comprehensive review of the existing Gaming Act.

The review is expected to evaluate the current regulatory framework and identify potential improvements that support long-term market development.

Focus on Sustainable Regulation

According to government officials, excessive regulatory measures could encourage more activity in the unregulated market.

The latest decision reflects an effort to balance effective regulation, market sustainability, and consumer protection while shaping the future direction of Bulgaria’s gaming industry.
