Czech Minister Proposes Online Poker Ban

Czech Republic government minister Dzamila Stehlikova has told the Prague Post she plans to ban online gambling including poker.

The Czech government is currently drafting legislation to regulate gambling in the country but the newspaper said the Green Party, which is a junior partner in the ruling coalition, ‘planned to push through a ban on gambling via the Internet and mobile phones.”

Currently gambling in the Czech Republic is controlled by individual municipalities but the new bill will transfer responsibility to national law. The new law is expected by the end of 2009.
