The law divides gambling into three classes:
- gambling card games (lottery, cards, craps, bingo);
- online roulette (American and European);
- bets on various events (tote and bookmaker's office);
- slot machines.
The law also regulates the legal age for starting money gambling. Only adult users over 18 years of age can play in online casinos. Under the age of 18, it is allowed to play the lotteries or tests its gaming skills in demo mode on slots that are available in almost every online casino in Poland. When playing in demo mode, it is impossible to win and lose, because bets are placed on virtual money.
Licenses for online casinos in Poland
Licenses in Poland are divided into three types:
- for cash bingo establishments;
- for land-based and online casinos;
- For establishments with bets.
Also, the law regulates the limitation on the number of gambling establishments. It is allowed to open only one such establishment for 250,000 inhabitants of the city, and if we are talking about a province, then no more than one casino per 650,000 inhabitants. This restriction does not apply to cruise ships.
Licenses are issued for a specific institution - a casino, a bingo salon, establishments with numbered games, and sports betting. Events are also separately licensed: poker tournaments, lottery issues. Only companies with a registered office in Poland can run a gambling establishment.
No separate permission required:
- promo lotteries;
- raffles lottery;
- bingo raffles.
It is necessary to submit a package of documents for getting a license. It includes information about the applicant, details of what the license is being asked for, an economic and financial investment plan, and other information. Insurance is also paid - for a casino license of EUR 260 thousand.
The casino, bingo, and betting venues are licensed for 6 years. Poker tournaments last 3 months and raffles, promo lotteries, and auditable lotteries 2 years. The cost of a license for gambling casinos and establishments depends on the gross income and the type of bets.
All casino games are prohibited online. Only online betting is allowed and is taxed at 12% of the proceeds. In this case, the tax is levied on the bets of the players.
As a result, there are few licensed operators:
- Millennium;
- Fortuna Entertainment;
- Totolek;
- STS;
- EnergyBet.
The most popular slots in casinos
The gambling production industry in Poland is quite developed. Many world-famous gambling software developers have offices in Poland. For example, Yggdrasil: the development office is located in Krakow but the administrative part is located in Malta.
Other popular soft developers:
- Gamesystem;
- Apollo Games;
- Alpa Electronic Games;
- Nowogames S.A;
- Synot Polska.
- Fox Group;
According to statistics, locals and guests of the country most often prefer slots that are available in a wide variety, for any gaming theme and with a different range of bets. This could also be due to the fact that many casinos offer generous sign-up bonuses and other promotions. In second place are card games, poker, and lotteries.
Online casino in Poland is available from any android or ios-based mobile device.
To play from a mobile phone, you can download a free application or go directly to the official casino website from a web browser.
Responsible gambling in any currency
Local casinos offer to place bets in different currencies, including the local one - zloty, or the popular international currency - the dollar. You can withdraw money in different ways.
In every gambling game, it is important to remember that where there is a risk of winning money, you can lose there, so bets on real money should be made wisely.
There are many winning tactics and strategies for slots, but the only winning strategy that would give 100% is not, since the slot machine is based on the principle of generating random numbers that cannot be calculated in advance. You can only roughly calculate the outcome. Therefore, you should be careful and bet only the amount of money that you do not regret losing.
Now, after being properly verified, I requested two withdrawals within 24h of each other. Both were processed within 12h of my request and I received 2 email transfers simultaneously after about 24h. Cash in hand. Amazing.
p.s. If you hit a free spin feature on the mega ways slots, you're gonna have a good time! Nothing to dislike! If you play in Canada, you should give these guys a try. I've stopped playing on other sites due to the absurdly long time it takes to get your funds.
Live chat helped me all the time I need.
I joined Zet casino sometime last year after hunting a good deposit offer. I saw they offered 100% with 200 free spins. Minimum deposit is 20 euro which was cool and e-wallet deposit made it claimable. I am not impressed by the fact that they do not give you a currency option, as they force euro currency and me depositing here suffer the fees. The bonus sounded good, but the wagering that comes with it, is high.
The have slots from all providers, Netent, Play N Go, Push Gaming, BGaming, Pragmatic play etc. You just name it and its there. However, do not get excited when you claim a bonus as you will be surprised of the number of slots that fall under the restricted umbrella.
Live chat seems to be 24 hours or let say there were always there when you I needed them, late at night or during the day. I know this as I needed to claim 20 spins per day in Eastern Goddess or Gods Temple, which are horrible slots, so do not let this fool you. Live chat is up to scratch and good though.
I have not completed verification, but they do not have these ridiculous selfie request. However, I would still encourage you to read the terms carefully as they reserve the right to request a transaction history of the last 3 – 6 months of your account to check for top-ups when making deposits using e-wallets. The withdrawal limits per transactions and per 24 hours for the first 2 VIP levels are 500 euro, which is insanely low if you ask me and I would never be able to put up with that. VIP level 3 is 800 euro, VIP level 4 is 1000 euro and the highest VIP level which is level 5 only give you the right to withdraw maximum 1500 euro from your money. Seriously? What the .... Very bad.
The best part about Lucky 31 are the 3D slots. Not every place has these still so I was happy to see that Lucky did.
I'd def check it out.
