Poker enthusiasts in the Czech Republic faced disappointment as GGPoker, which had earlier secured a license for operation in early 2023, has now exited the market. This move comes after the company appeared on the Czech Ministry of Finance’s list of licensed operators in June but was conspicuously absent in the latest August update.
The initial excitement for GGPoker’s launch has been dampened by recent developments indicating that the company has either lost or surrendered its online poker license. This was in partnership with King’s Casino, which was anticipated to spearhead GGPoker’s offerings in the Czech market.
The specifics behind the withdrawal remain unclear, though it coincides with new legislative measures that may have influenced the decision. These changes include an increase in gambling taxes and stringent operational requirements such as the introduction of self-exclusion mechanisms and a “panic button” that permits players to immediately block access to all licensed poker rooms in the country. These new mandates pose integration challenges and come with heightened operational costs.
