Summary answer

Various changes to the regulation of advertising of the gambling games are being discussed, which might substantially impact advertising in the media

Pure games of skill are not expected to be absorbed into gambling regulation in the near future.

4 Oct 2026 Read update The Ministry of Finance notified the EU TRIS system, under notification 24129, of a proposal to split the gambling permit-issuance process into two phases and to simplify deposit management. This is a primary-source procedural filing at the drafting stage: it precedes any amendment to the Gambling Act (Act No. 186/2016 Coll.) itself, and no such amendment has been officially announced for 2026. The reform is administrative in character, aimed at streamlining how the basic permit and initial permit interact and how deposits are handled during the application process, rather than at expanding or restricting the activity classes or licence types the Act already permits. Because the notification sits at drafting stage, its adoption timeline and final shape remain open. The reform track is nonetheless active and primary-sourced, which distinguishes it from a mere rumour of change: the Ministry has taken a formal EU-notification step, giving the reform horizon a concrete near-term item to track even though the statutory baseline itself remains stable this cycle.
