The Czech Republic opened online gambling to EU and EEA-based operators in 2017 under the Gambling Act (Act No. 186/2016 Sb.) — a genuinely open, competitive licensing market rather than a state monopoly or a capped-licence system.
The Ministry of Finance "white list"
Licensing is handled by the Ministry of Finance (Ministerstvo financí, MFCR), with separate basic licences required for each type of gambling an operator wants to offer. To check whether a site is actually licensed, the Ministry publishes a "white list" of legal operators on mfcr.cz — worth checking directly rather than trusting a badge on the casino's own site.
RVO — checked at every login
The Register of Excluded Persons (RVO) is administered by the Ministry of Finance, and licensed operators are required to check it at every single login, not just at sign-up. Beyond voluntary registration, people can be added automatically in specific circumstances defined in law (for example, during insolvency proceedings). A "panic button" — a one-click 48-hour pause — must be visibly available throughout play at licensed sites, alongside the option to register for full RVO exclusion.
Fully available
The Czech Republic is an EU member (though it uses the koruna, CZK, not the euro) and Revolut offers its full standard product range there. Check our fees guide if your casino account runs in a different currency than your Revolut balance.
