Gamblers and bettors are able to bet on any sport or the game in the world unless it is tennis. Because of the suspicious betting patterns and comments that were made by one of the tennis players involved, tennis betting is being scrutinized by online casinos. Besides, the Association of Tennis Professionals has increased its pressure to stop tennis wagering.

It has become known that two poker professionals have been investigated and suspended for betting on tennis matches despite ATP’s rules against tennis betting at the land and online casino betting companies. Though being not found to have participated in the betting scandal, the two tennis players, Frantisek Cermak and Michal Mertinak, have been suspended as a result of breaking the rules.

This way, the ATP has proved that it is coming down hard on any tennis pros who choose to gamble on tennis matches.

Kapica Spares no Efforts to Pass the New Tax Legislation

Oliver Stearns — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 09:31:29 +0000

Interestingly, but not having passed the planned online casino gambling tax legislation, the Polish government is already looking for the ways to spend the revenue from taxing the industry.

It must be noted that the European gambling market is getting more and more liberalized, since lots of governments have understood that it’s better to join the industry rather than being helpless in fighting it.

With no regulation in place to address online casinos, some Polish officials are thinking of using industry’s tax revenue to fund a new football stadium and other social programs and projects to help Polish citizens. Jacek Kapica, the Deputy Minister of Finance in Poland, is one of the officials actively supporting the new tax legislation.

According to government’s opinion, the planned tax rate of 10% is thought to be reasonable and shouldn’t deter gambling companies to continue operating in the Polish gambling market.

If passed as it is, the new tax legislation will remain in effect until 2015.
