8. The subject of the notification is the draft Decree on the conditions for the operation of gambling games, which is issued on the basis of authorisation pursuant to Section 133(1)(a), (e) and 2(c) and (d) of Act No 186/2016 on gambling, as amended by the Government’s draft act amending certain acts in connection with the consolidation of public budgets with expected effect from 1 January 2024 (hereinafter the ‘Gambling Act’). This draft decree lays down the conditions for the operation of gambling games with regard to the protection of health, property or other public interest or to ensure effective supervision of compliance with obligations under the Gambling Act. These are detailed conditions for the operation of individual types of gambling games, such as the essentials of an instant-win lottery ticket. Furthermore, the draft decree sets out prohibited risk bonuses that the operator of a gambling game may not grant in connection with the operation of the gambling game to its participants. A risk bonus is a bonus that promotes risky gambling or threatens health, life, good morals or public order. In the draft decree, the Ministry of Finance also lays down the details of compliance with the recording obligation and defines the manner of notification and transmission of information and transmission, the content requirements and time limits for the notification, storage or transmission of information from operators of gambling games to state authorities in the area of gambling game operation.

Basic regulation: Act No 186/2016 on gambling, as amended (reference to prior notification: 2023/448/CZ)
9. The submitted draft decree follows up on the amendment to the Gambling Act, practical experience and technological developments.
This draft decree extends and specifies the conditions for the operation of gambling games contained in the Gambling Act in order to ensure the proper operation of gambling games and thus to ensure an optimal level of player protection. It follows that certain rights and obligations provided for in individual decrees or individual administrative acts will be newly regulated in legal acts different than hitherto. The precise stipulation of conditions of operation also increases legal certainty for all stakeholders. The draft decree also contains a list of prohibited risk bonuses, which responds to the current situation on the gambling game market. The recording and reporting obligation shall ensure that the state administration bodies in the field of gambling provide the necessary information to carry out effective supervision and, therefore, to ensure compliance with the regulation given by the Gambling Act and its subordinate implementing regulations.
