North Macedonia has implemented a state monopoly over the online gambling sector. The regulatory change takes effect immediately, centralizing digital wagering operations under government control.
Regulatory Framework Changes
The new framework replaces the previous licensing model with a single state-run entity responsible for all online betting and casino services. Operators must now route their digital offerings through the designated public provider to maintain legal compliance. This restructuring aims to standardize market oversight and streamline revenue collection for digital wagering activities.Earlier regulatory discussions highlighted the need for centralized digital gambling management. The updated policy aligns the country's online wagering framework with broader European market standards.
