Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- The mandatory contribution paid by gambling companies to the Gaming Commission will increase by 15 percent in 2026 to cover the regulator's operational and staff costs.
- Companies holding an official licence for gambling and betting activities will be affected, as they must pay this higher fee.
- For you as a citizen, nothing changes directly; the supervision of gambling is funded by the industry itself rather than through your taxes.
