Poland has decided to ban online poker. Poland President Bronislaw Komorowski (pictured right) signed a decree forbidding players from playing poker online within the country's borders. The move is seen as an attempt to regulate Poland's online gambling market by banning "unacceptable" forms of online gambling. Sports betting and horse racing still allowed but poker was perceived to be highly addictive and many felt that it was difficult to prevent online collusion and cheating.
"Jacek Kapica, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance, believes that poker is a gambling game, based on a random element (a hand of cards), as it was confirmed by the Administrative Court verdict. Worse, it's a game, leading to addiction, because of direct participation in it which is followed by its immediate results," reads a Polish news article.
The ban is expected to pass into law by July but many are fighting the law on the grounds that it is counter to EU competition rules. Secretary General of the European Gaming and Betting Association Sigrid Ligné commented on the law by saying, "We support the Polish government's intention to join the growing number of countries regulating the online gaming and betting market in the EU. However, the current draft foresees a wide range of obstacles and obligations which will make it highly difficult for EU licensed and regulated operators to apply for a license in Poland. We urge Poland to revise its draft and align it with the requirements of the EU Treaty."
