| Description | The main aim of the article is to look into a problem of betting on the Internet, where Czech Republic has two views at the moment. The betting supporters, the foreign companies that operate on-line betting sites, are hiding behind the free movement of services within the European Union together with European license in order to run on-line betting within Czech Republic; the income tax and tax return are not applicable within Czech Republic and each year these agencies gain vast amounts from Czech gamblers (whom, by the way, are not allowed to bet outside Czech Republic under the Betting Act). On the other hand the opposition, which includes Department of Finance of Czech Republic and home betting, games and gambling agencies, are strictly against on-line betting provided by the foreign agencies. |
