Croatia regulates gambling through government rights and Ministry of Finance approvals. The 2025 law and implementing rules now require remote adult verification, a central excluded-player register and tighter advertising controls. Atlas still found no current public operator directory supporting the former Bet365 licence label; an older official planning document described Bet365.com as unlicensed, so that relationship remains under review rather than being presented as current.

2025 reform and assigned rights
The Ministry of Finance reform presentation reported six assigned betting rights plus Hrvatska Lutrija, alongside 18 assigned casino rights. These are market-level counts, not a public consumer-brand directory.

Atlas did not find a current Ministry directory that maps online consumer brands and domains to those rights. Brand relationships therefore remain under review unless a current decision or register entry is available.
Ministry of Finance concessions frameworkRemote identity checks
The October 2025 remote-betting rules require the operator to verify that a registrant is an adult through Tax Administration electronic services, a payment-card check or a remote identity process that complies with anti-money-laundering rules.
Croatian remote-betting rules - NN 129/2025Central exclusion register
The 2025 law requires excluded-player data to reach the central register within 24 hours and makes operators responsible for preventing a registered excluded player from gambling. The law set 30 June 2026 as the deadline for the public-health institute to establish the register.
Croatian Gambling Act amendments - NN 72/2025Advertising restrictions
The amended law prohibits gambling advertising online and in audiovisual or radio programming from 06:00 to 23:00, bans it in print, and restricts bonus-led advertising and influencer promotion. These rules concern marketing conduct, not proof of a brand licence.
