Sports Betting in Slovakia
Sports betting is extremely popular in Slovakia. Today there are several major players in the bookmaking industry, and many of the larger companies each operate hundreds of betting shops throughout the country. While sports betting in Slovakia went unregulated for a long time, recent changes in the laws mean betting shops must be licensed, and the government taxes all Slovakian sportsbook operators.

One of the major players is Fortuna SK, which is a member of the massive Fortuna Group, the largest sportsbook operator in Central Europe. Fortuna SK operates more than 350 betting shops across Slovakia. Another major Slovakian sportsbook company is Tipsport, which is also represented in hundreds of betting shops across Slovakia.

Online Sports Betting in Slovakia
Internet sports betting in Slovakia is currently legal. Fortuna SK operates the only Slovakian online sportsbook. Tipsport runs its own website, but it does not let players place wagers over the internet. There are several foreign bookmakers that offer their services in Slovakian, though these sites are hosted outside of Slovakia.
