Croatia regulates gambling through government rights and Ministry of Finance approvals. The Tax Administration publishes 12 internet-approved legal entities with consumer domains and product labels: all 12 for casino games, seven for betting and one for lotteries. This is the published table inspected on 24 October 2026; it displays no edition date, individual licence identifiers or expiry terms. Bet365 has no exact brand or domain match in that table. The 2025 reforms require adult identity checks, central exclusion and tighter advertising controls.

Published internet approvals
The Tax Administration’s complete internet-approval table has 12 entity-and-domain rows: 12 include casino games, seven include betting and one includes lottery games. The table has no visible edition date or individual licence identifiers and expiry terms; the inspection date is not its publication date.
Tax Administration published internet approvalsEntity, product and domain scope
The table pairs each legal entity with a consumer domain and product labels, including INTERIGRE with admiral.hr and SUPER IGRA with arenacasino.hr. A casino-games label is not a separate approval for every specific game, and this table does not prove current site availability.
Tax Administration internet entity-domain-product tableBet365 register no-match
No Bet365 brand, Bet365 consumer domain or Hillside entity appears in the complete 12-row published approval table. Atlas records this narrow register no-match; it is not a current illegality, blocking or revocation finding. The separate 2018 planning reference remains historical.
Tax Administration full-table brand and domain reviewRemote identity checks
The October 2025 remote-betting rules require adult identity verification through Tax Administration electronic services, a debit- or credit-card holder check, or an AML-compliant remote identity process. The registrant must supply the information needed to check adulthood at registration.
Croatian remote-betting rules - NN 129/2025Central exclusion duties
The 2025 Act requires excluded-player data to reach the central register no later than 24 hours after receipt and makes operators responsible for preventing registered excluded players from gambling. It set 30 June 2026 as the establishment deadline; that statutory deadline alone does not establish operational rollout.
Croatian Gambling Act amendments - NN 72/2025Advertising restrictions and exceptions
The amended Act generally prohibits online, audiovisual and radio gambling advertising from 06:00 to 23:00 and prohibits print advertising. Specified low-risk lotteries and operators’ own websites have defined exceptions. Bonus-led advertising outside those websites is prohibited. Social-media creators may not promote gambling or stream it live; these rules do not establish a brand licence.
