What the rule actually is in Poland
Our own reading, not a summary of someone else's
Online casino is a state monopoly held by Totalizator Sportowy's Total Casino. Private operators may take sports bets only, and they pay 12% on turnover rather than on GGR, one of the harshest bases in Europe and the reason most casino demand sits offshore on MGA and Curacao licences. Betting permits run six years and can be extended by six more. Enforcement is what matters for payments: the Ministry of Finance maintains a register of prohibited domains, 35,791 of them by June 2026, and Article 15g of the gambling act bars payment service providers from servicing anything on that list, so DNS blocks and payment blocks land together.

Enforcement reaches
site blocking and payment blocking
Enforcement here touches the money, not just the domain, so a processor can be ordered to stop serving an operator.
