Let me entertain you diligently

The regulation of gaming activities in Bulgaria is constantly evolving and, in many aspects, strictly enforced. The Bulgarian gaming legislation establishes detailed requirements for land-based and online operators, manufacturers and importers, covering technical, financial, and organizational criteria. For foreign market participants managing this complex legal environment can be particularly challenging due to the local specifics, compliance and licensing procedures.

DPC’s Entertainment & Gaming Law team provides strategic, end-to-end legal support to help obtain and maintain Bulgarian gaming licenses. We advise the broader ecosystem of technology providers, suppliers, and partners involved in the gaming value chain with the end goal of building legally scalable and responsible products.
