Sports Betting in Croatia
Sports betting was legalized in Croatia in the early 1990s. The legislation allowed private companies to open betting shops around the country. Before this time, bets on sporting events could only be made at kiosks run by the state lotto, and the only available bets were known as "sports forecasting", where players attempted to predict results of 13 soccer matches once a week.

Once legalized, it didn't take long for two companies to completely take over the Croatian sportsbook industry - Prva Sportska Kladionica (PSK) and Sport Tip. The shops were hugely popular, and large matches could produce queues of hundreds trying to place bets. Over time, more and more competing companies opened up shops, especially British and German chains. The government then changed tax regulation on sports betting pushing smaller companies out of business. Now, a state-run bookmaker is the dominant bet provider in Croatia.

Online Sports Betting in Croatia
Online sportsbooks in Croatia are harder to come by. Prva Sportska Kladionica offers match results and other information on their website, but does not take bets online. Instead, players must look offshore to find online sportsbooks. A few of the international gambling sites that offer Croatian pages have sportsbooks attached. These are the best places for Croatians to bet on sports at internet betting sites.
