Slovenia operates a concession-based gambling regime under the Gaming Act (ZIS, 1995 as amended), treating gambling as an exclusive state right. 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.
