Footnotes and NotesOnline gambling in Slovenia must be operated by land-based operators that already have a concession for a casino or existing classic lottery games. As a result of this requirement, the only entities eligible to apply for an online licence are Slovenia’s two lottery operators as well as the casino concessionaires. Fines up to EUR 250,000 can be imposed on legal entities for organising games of chance without a concession, whereas the responsible person of the legal entity can be fined up to EUR 10,000. Moreover, criminal sanctions of up to three years’ imprisonment (or eight years where substantial sums are involved) could apply in respect of any person who either organises, participates or assists with organising online games of chance without a concession.
