Operating in Bulgaria: 20% tax, ad Ban
Online gambling is legal in Bulgaria for operators holding a licence from the National Revenue Agency (NRA), and only that licence counts. Online casino, slots, poker, sports and race betting, betting on events and bingo are available; lotteries other than tombola, bingo and their variants are a state monopoly run through the Bulgarian Sports Totalizator (BST). The state fee on online betting is 20% of stakes received less winnings paid, plus a one-time BGN 400,000. Advertising is almost entirely banned. A player who takes part in a game run without an NRA licence faces a fine of BGN 500 to 2,000 and Criminal Code art. 327(3).

Decided1 Aug 2026Blocking powers in force
Can the NRA block unlicensed sites and the affiliates that promote them?
Since 1 August 2026 the NRA Executive Director orders the stop of gambling on internet pages run by unlicensed organisers, and the blocking of websites, apps and social-media profiles of unlicensed affiliate operators. The acts are published on the NRA website the day they are issued and take effect at once, and internet providers must stop access within 24 hours. Banks and payment firms may not process payments for unlicensed sites. Players also face a fine of BGN 500 to 2,000.

Heads-up for operators
7 items · last change 7 Nov 2026
Pending, and not law, as of 7 November 2026. (1) Two National Assembly bills amending the Gambling Act, 52-654-01-128 (introduced 4 September 2026, 6 MPs) and 52-654-01-130 (9 September 2026, 14 MPs), are in the Budget and Finance Committee; the Assembly's records show no vote and no withdrawal. (2) A Ministry of Finance draft Act amending the Gambling Act was in public consultation from 23 September to 23 October 2026; its stated aims are to raise budget revenue from gambling and a full advertising ban, and it proposes a cap of EUR 500 a month on a player's total deposits across all licensed online organisers (EUR 250 for players under 25), read from the consultation page only. (3) Two EU TRIS notifications of draft amending acts: 2026/0536/BG (notified 2 October 2026, fiscal measures; as notified it would end affiliate operator licences from 1 January 2027, add a one-off EUR 50,000 or EUR 100,000 maintenance fee for supplier licences, and keep the equipment and central point in Bulgaria only, dropping the EU, EEA and Swiss alternative) and 2026/0558/BG (received 15 October 2026; a new art. 10 that would ban advertising of gambling, organisers, trade marks and signs in any form, keeping only organiser-website information, the Totalizator draws, the venue façade and sports sponsorship, with fines of EUR 10,000 to 50,000). Which notification belongs to which text, and whether the bills and the ministry draft are the same text, is not stated in the published documents. (4) A draft ordinance under art. 10ж(2) on limiting risky behaviour in online betting (time on site, loss limits), consultation 5 June to 5 July 2025, is shown as inactive and has not been adopted. A bill to raise the gambling age to 21 reported in the press in February 2026 does not appear in the current Assembly's bill list; the Act still says adults (art. 2(3)).
Draft Act amending the Gambling Act — TRIS 2026/0558/BG

Getting licensed: apply to the NRA
The licence, its cost and the steps are in the licence guide
5 licence types: Online casino games licence; Online betting licence (sports and race betting; random events and facts); Land-based casino and slot-hall licences (land-based); and others. Year-1 budget At least BGN 498k (online sports betting) or BGN 526,500 (online casino games) in fees, filed electronically. Fees, requirements, documents, certification and the step-by-step route are set out there.Read the licence guide
Gambling tax: 20% of GGR
Detail
Online betting pays a state fee under art. 30(4) of the Gambling Act: a one-time BGN 400,000 for issuing and maintaining the licence (paid before the certificate and again at each extension) plus a monthly variable part of 20% of stakes received less winnings paid, declared and paid by the 15th of the next month. There is no fixed annual licence fee.
Each online licence also carries an annual social-responsibility contribution of BGN 60,000 (BGN 20,000 per casino licence, BGN 10,000 for other games), due by 31 March (art. 10a). Corporate income tax is 10% on profit (NRA).
The NRA states that online slots and casino games are taxed with corporate income tax under art. 242(2) of the Corporate Income Tax Act, while land-based slot machines and casino tables pay a fixed quarterly amount. From 1 August 2026 an affiliate operator pays EUR 6,000 a year plus 10% of its result-linked commission, withheld and paid by the organiser (art. 30a).
Which foreign licences Bulgaria accepts
Bulgaria recognises none of these 8 foreign licences.
BlockedMalta (MGA)
Not recognised for serving Bulgarian players: only a licence issued by the NRA Executive Director counts (art. 3(1)). Malta is an EU state, so an applicant that holds such a licence may have the facts that licence required taken as proven (art. 23(8)); that shortens vetting but does not replace the Bulgarian licence. A foreign-licensed site that still sells to Bulgarian players is stopped by NRA order, blocked by internet providers within 24 hours (art. 17(6)) and cut off from payments (art. 9(13)).
United Kingdom (UKGC) · Gibraltar (GRA) · Isle of Man (GSC) · Curaçao (CGB) · Kahnawake (KGC) · Anjouan · Alderney (AGCC)
Not recognised: only a licence issued by the NRA Executive Director counts (art. 3(1)). A company registered outside the EU, EEA and Switzerland cannot hold a Bulgarian licence itself (art. 4(1) point 1). Foreign-licensed sites still reach Bulgarian players; the NRA orders such sites stopped, internet providers must block them within 24 hours (art. 17(6)), payment institutions may not process payments for them (art. 9(13)), and a player faces a fine of BGN 500 to 2,000 (art. 97а(2)).
Bonus rules: welcome bonuses allowed
Inducement ads: Banned
Bonuses exist in law: free bets and virtual bonus funds are a form of bonus. No article authorises or limits free spins or caps wagering requirements; the reasons, periods, conditions and limits of every bonus must be clear in the organiser's NRA-approved rules and recorded in the system. Advertising of bonuses is not permitted: advertising content is limited to game names and types, the registered trade mark and draws and wins, with no figures.
What the player can claim
- Welcome bonus
- Allowed
- VIP schemes
- Allowed
No VIP-specific rule appears in the Act or the ordinances, and no rule on wagering requirements. Limits you must set on time, losses and stakes are not in force yet: the rules that would require them have not been issued, and a draft (consultation 5 June to 5 July 2025) is not adopted.
What the operator can advertise
- Channels off-limits
- Radio and television (except the Bulgarian Sports Totalizator draws)
- Public places and state and municipal property
- Print and electronic media, including internet pages and social media
- Messages ads may not give
- Any bonus, free bet or other promotion (advertising content is limited to game names and types, the registered trade mark, draws and wins)

Organiser BGN 30,000 to 50,000; publisher BGN 10,000 to 30,000 or a fine of BGN 5,000 to 10,000; affiliate EUR 2,000 to 5,000 or EUR 3,000 to 8,000 (art. 105(1)-(3)).
The NRA can withdraw the licence for 3 to 6 months for advertising outside art. 10(2) (art. 85(1) point 2).
A pending EU notification (2026/0558/BG) would replace art. 10 with a ban on advertising of gambling, organisers, trade marks and signs in any form, keeping only organiser-website information, the Totalizator draws, the venue façade and sports sponsorship.
Advertising: banned or near-banned
Bulgaria's gambling advertising rules were tightened by SG 42/14.05.2024: advertising is banned on radio and television, in public places, in print and electronic media including internet pages, and on state and municipal property, with a narrow set of exceptions (billboards at least 300 metres from schools, a venue's own facade, sports equipment and facilities, and sponsorship within art. 10(1)-(4)). The same rules bind sportsbook and online casino operators. Content is limited to game names and types, the registered trade mark and draws and wins, with no figures. A pending EU notification (2026/0558/BG) would replace art. 10 with a full ban.
| Channel | Status | Vertical & Platform Split (2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Google Search Ads | Banned | Online advertising of gambling is banned: art. 10(1) of the Gambling Act bans gambling advertising in print and electronic media including internet pages, and no information on gambling beyond the content of art. 10(3) and (5) may be published. A search advert for sportsbook or casino products cannot lawfully be bought.3 |
| Meta (FB/IG) | Banned | Social media advertising of gambling is not permitted as advertising: art. 10(1) bans it in electronic media, and the NRA may order the blocking of the social-media profiles, video and streaming channels of unlicensed affiliate operators (art. 17(1) point 9a). The NRA's own guidance on art. 10 is the place to check how it applies the ban to a licensed operator's own profiles.3 |
| TV & Radio | Banned | Banned on radio and television. The only exception is broadcasting and announcing the draws of the state enterprise Bulgarian Sports Totalizator. The ban applies to sportsbook and casino operators alike.3 |
| Sponsorships | Allowed | Licensed organisers may sponsor events supporting sport, culture, health, education, social work and addiction prevention and treatment, within art. 10(1)-(4). Advertising on sports equipment, facilities, halls, stadiums, pools and materials of federations and clubs is allowed, except on items for minors; content is limited to the trade mark (and the company name at a sponsored event). The addiction warning must cover 10% of an advert's area, except on sports equipment.3 |
| Outdoor (billboards and venue facades) | Restricted | Banned in public places and on state and municipal property (except licensed venues), and external advertising structures may carry gambling advertising on no more than 5% of the provider's total area. Permitted: billboards at least 300 metres from schools, universities, community centres, playgrounds, dormitories and youth social-service sites, and a gambling venue's facade (advertising and signs up to 20% of the facade and 50 square metres). Each advert carries the addiction warning on at least 10% of its area.3 |

How Bulgaria enforces against unlicensed operators
Since 1 August 2026 the NRA Executive Director orders the stop of gambling on internet pages through which persons without a licence organise games, and the stop or blocking of the websites, apps, social-media profiles and streaming channels of affiliate operators that promote gambling without a licence. The acts are published on the NRA website on the day they are issued, are enforceable at once, and providers of public electronic communications must stop access within 24 hours of publication. Banks, payment and e-money institutions may not process payments to or from unlicensed persons or persons under a stop order, on pain of BGN 50,000 to 200,000, doubled on repeat; the same sanction applies to a provider that does not block. An organiser of online betting without a licence faces BGN 1,000,000 to 2,000,000, and Criminal Code art. 327 punishes organising a game outside the legal order with up to six years in prison and a fine of BGN 20,000 to 100,000. A player faces a fine of BGN 500 to 2,000 and Criminal Code art. 327(3); no player fine or prosecution appears in the NRA's published material read as of 7 November 2026.
- From 1 August 2026 (SG 69/2026) the NRA Executive Director orders the stop of unlicensed gambling pages (art. 17(1) point 9); internet providers must stop access within 24 hours of publication of the act (art. 17(6)).
- The NRA publishes by year its decisions identifying unlicensed betting sites and the orders of the Sofia District Court; the files could not be read on 7 November 2026 (the NRA file host returned a challenge page).
- Payment and e-money institutions that pay to or from unlicensed persons, and providers that do not block access, face BGN 50,000 to 200,000, doubled on repeat (art. 97a(1), (4)).
- Organising online betting without a licence: BGN 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 for a legal entity (art. 96(1) point 1).
- The NRA's own page says a listed site that still opens means the provider has not carried out the block; foreign-licensed sites keep selling to Bulgarian players.
Licensed operators: 31
As of 7 Nov 2026, approximately 31 operators hold an active licence in Bulgaria. Size your entry against this base before committing capital. Check them yourself on the official National Revenue Agency register, which lists each licensee and its authorised domains.

Traps operators hit in Bulgaria
Specific operational risks that have caught new entrants in this market. Each item is country-specific. Generic gambling-ops issues (KYC, RG tools) are not included unless they have a local twist.
Meeting the near-total advertising ban
Gambling advertising is banned on radio and television, in public places, in print and electronic media including internet pages, and on state and municipal property. Permitted content is limited to game names and types, the registered trade mark and draws and wins, with no figures, so bonuses and promotions cannot be advertised. Fines: organiser BGN 30,000 to 50,000, publisher BGN 10,000 to 30,000 or a fine of BGN 5,000 to 10,000, affiliate EUR 2,000 to 5,000 or EUR 3,000 to 8,000 (art. 105); the NRA can also withdraw the licence for 3 to 6 months for advertising outside art. 10(2). A pending EU notification (2026/0558/BG) would replace art. 10 with a full ban.
Affiliates now need their own licence
Since 1 August 2026 a person who promotes games for a commission tied to results needs an NRA affiliate licence, and promotion is lawful only for licensed organisers. The organiser that pays the commission withholds and pays 10% of it and files a monthly declaration by the 15th. Promoting through an unlicensed affiliate, or for an unlicensed organiser, is banned and fined (art. 9(19)-(20), 97б, 97в). A pending EU notification (2026/0536/BG) would end affiliate licences from 1 January 2027.
Respecting the state lottery monopoly
Lotteries other than tombola, bingo and their variants may be licensed only to the state, which acts through the Bulgarian Sports Totalizator (art. 4(3), 13a). Instant lotteries and tombola are not available online at all (art. 41(2)); bingo can be licensed online.
Sources3
Funding the licence: capital, funds and investments
An online licence needs fully paid capital of at least BGN 1,500,000 (art. 4(2)); online betting also needs funds of BGN 1,000,000, held in cash, a bank account or under a bank guarantee for the whole licence term, and investments of BGN 1,000,000 proved within 6 months of issue (art. 5). A one-time BGN 400,000 state fee is paid at issue and again at each extension (art. 30(4), (10)).
Building to the Bulgarian technical rules
The central system and communication equipment may sit in Bulgaria, another EU or EEA state or Switzerland, but a control local server in Bulgaria must hold all data on the Bulgarian offering, with continuous remote access for the NRA and the State Agency for National Security. Every transaction is registered online with the NRA in real time. Software and every new version must be entered in the Bulgarian Institute of Metrology register after testing by a laboratory in the NRA register (art. 6, 20, 42; PMS 31/2021, PMS 50/2021).

Operator myths vs reality in Bulgaria
Common assumptions about gambling licensing that turn out to be wrong in practice.
- MythAn MGA or Curaçao licence is sufficient to accept Bulgarian players.Reality
False. Only a licence issued by the NRA Executive Director counts (art. 3(1)). A foreign-licensed site that serves Bulgarian players can be stopped by NRA order, blocked by internet providers within 24 hours and cut off from payments; the organiser faces BGN 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 for online betting without a licence, and Criminal Code art. 327(1) carries up to six years in prison.
- MythThe advertising rules have loopholes for online marketing.Reality
The Act bans gambling advertising in print and electronic media including internet pages and forbids publishing any information on gambling beyond the permitted content (game names and types, the registered trade mark, draws and wins). It prints no exception for an organiser's own pages; the NRA's guidance on art. 10 is the place to check how it applies the rule.
Sources3
- MythWe can offer lottery-style games to compete with the state operator.Reality
False. Lotteries other than tombola, bingo and their variants may be licensed only to the state, through the Bulgarian Sports Totalizator (art. 4(3), 13a). Instant lotteries and tombola are not available online at all; a private operator can hold a bingo licence.
Sources3
- MythAffiliates can promote our brand without a licence of their own.Reality
Since 1 August 2026 an affiliate paid a commission tied to results needs an NRA licence, and promoting for an unlicensed organiser or through an unlicensed affiliate is banned and fined (art. 9(19)-(20), 97б, 97в). The NRA may block the sites, apps, profiles and streams of unlicensed affiliates.
