Strengthening a Grasp Over the Market
Amid the continued industry expansion, the regulatory body is preparing additional control tools. Earlier in 2026, the local Ministry of Finance’s proposal sparked discussion about implementing cards for players across both internet and land-based gaming businesses.
The system is expected to take effect on January 1st, 2029. Each user will need a physical identifier, enabling government agencies to track their activity across operator projects. Particular attention will be given to financial transactions, including deposits and winnings.
H1 2026's results confirm the national industry’s continued shift toward remote content. It already accounts for almost 4/5 of total GGR, while the traditional on-site sector continues to decline gradually.
