Significant Sums Flowing Out of Slovenia Due to Illegal Gambling Activity
Recent investigations reveal a substantial volume of funds originating from Slovenia linked to illegal online gambling operations. A quick online search indicates a considerable number of foreign providers actively targeting Slovenian players with their services. Data from the Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia (FURS) highlights the scale of the issue.
In 2023, approximately €95.17 million was transferred out of Slovenia to support these illegal gambling sites. Figures from prior years reveal even greater outflows, totaling an estimated €293 million between 2023 and 2025. Authorities are focusing on monitoring operations, including surveillance at locations such as Casino Portorož, where approximately 300 online gambling providers have been identified.
Investigations are ongoing to determine the extent of the network and strategies employed to combat these illegal activities. The operation of these illegal online gambling providers represents a significant concern within Slovenia. Authorities are working to identify and disrupt these services, aiming to protect players from potential risks associated with unregulated gambling.
Further details on this ongoing investigation will be available in the 24UR section’s “Facts at 19.00” segment this evening.
