An outright ban of gambling is also currently in the works
Local authorities in Bratislava are moving ahead with brand new restrictions on gambling in the Slovak capital. Changes to the National Gambling Act which came into force earlier this year has allowed municipalities to take action against the dangerous vice.
The latest restrictions, as adopted by the City Council are as follows:
These new and heavily restrictive regulations are set to come into force in mid-November. Another batch of restrictions are scheduled for January 2020:
The local government wants to reassure business owners who are currently operating that these new restrictions will start applying to them only once their respective Gambling Licenses have expired and are scheduled to be renewed.
The local government is not done yet, however. Currently, a petition for a complete ban on gambling in Bratislava is underway and it has already gathered over 100,000 signatures. In September, Matúš Vallo, mayor of the Slovak capital announced the creation of a new working group that will be communicating with citizens and civil association and trying to answer their concerns.
Another issue to take note of is the potential revenue loss when Gambling Licenses start getting rejected in the next couple of years. Members of the city council expect income to start dropping at some point in late 2020.
