The Seimas of Lithuania continues to reform the Baltic state’s gambling laws, approving new amendments to the national Gambling Law and the Lottery & Gaming Tax Law.
Gambling Law amendments will see the Lithuania Gambling Control Authority introduce a new type of licence for ‘the organisation (of) remote gambling services’.
The introduction of a new remote gambling licence is required in order for the government to separate remote gambling requirements from rules applied for land-based gambling businesses.
Under existing laws, gambling enterprises require municipal approval for licences that have been granted to firms that have established and operate land-based (terrestrial) venues.
