Andonovski: We will ban online gambling by law
North Macedonia’s Minister of Digital Transformation, Stefan Andonovski, has announced forthcoming amendments to the Law on Electronic Communications aimed at prohibiting illegal online gambling. Currently, no private entities in the country hold licenses to operate online gambling platforms, yet approximately 160 unlicensed providers have been identified operating within the market. The Ministry has collaborated with other relevant institutions to develop these legal changes, ensuring that the competencies of each are respected. Global gambling operators without Macedonian licenses have been notified of their legal violations. The proposed amendments have been approved by the government and are set to be enacted shortly.
