Special games of chance (casino/gaming-hall) are capped at 15 and 45 concessions respectively, while classic games of chance (lottery, sports betting, bingo) are restricted to two national concessionaires, Loterija Slovenije d.d. and Športna loterija d.d. Online gambling is permitted only through existing concessionaires; foreign operators cannot obtain a Slovenian licence directly and Slovenia does not passport EU licences. FURS (Financial Administration) supervises day-to-day compliance under Ministry of Finance oversight. - Classic games of chance restricted to two incumbent concessionaires nationally - Casino/gaming-hall concession ceilings (15/45) constrain new-entrant slots - Foreign entities cannot directly hold a concession; Slovenian incorporation is mandatory - Online gambling restricted exclusively to existing domestic concessionaires Probable AI-generated [Read full analysis & tables →](/jurisdictions/slovenia/overview/) 02 · Can we get a licence? ### Licensing and regulation Mixed Licensing is concession-based and capacity-constrained. Special games of chance require a Government concession and may be operated only in casinos or gaming halls; only concessionaires may offer the online equivalent.

Special games of chance require a Government concession and may be operated only in casinos or gaming halls; only concessionaires may offer the online equivalent. Classic games of chance (lottery, sports betting, bingo, lotto, quiz lotteries, raffles) may be organised on an ongoing basis by no more than two operators nationally, with each individual classic game subject to its own concession decision by Government. Gaming-hall operators face materially lighter entry conditions than casino operators, but a concession, share capital and site-suitability requirements still apply.

Secondary sources describe casino table games taxed near 25%/GGR and gaming machines near 35%/GGR, while other secondary commentary describes a broader 5–18% GGR band; concession fees historically cited separately in the 25–30% range. … Full analysis · 58 words Taxation is GGR-based with rates that vary by product/game type. Secondary sources describe casino table games taxed near 25%/GGR and gaming machines near 35%/GGR, while other secondary commentary describes a broader 5–18% GGR band; concession fees historically cited separately in the 25–30% range.

Responsible-gambling messaging is a compliance requirement. Detailed statutory marketing/bonus-rule provisions were not independently located in this run and are logged as a coverage gap.

Any operator without a lottery or land-based-casino concession footing in Slovenia would, if this policy holds, be unable to secure gambling ad certification on Google's platform for the Slovenian market, closing off a significant distribution channel for unlicensed or purely-online-model operators. This finding is sourced to a single T4 secondary source and is assessed as Uncertain confidence; it was surfaced in the DR record as an open finding rather than independently corroborated across multiple sources this cycle. The practical effect, if confirmed, is to extend the closed-market posture from the licensing layer into the digital-distribution layer, further narrowing the already-constrained set of viable entry or marketing routes for operators outside the existing concession structure. No ISP-blocking, search-de-listing, or affiliate-marketing-platform restriction evidence beyond this ad-certification finding was located this cycle.

Enforcement activity in 2024 was substantial, spanning both licensed-conduct irregularities and unlicensed/illegal online organisation of games of chance.
