A plan to cut gambling taxes on online casinos has been included in the coalition agreement at the request of Estonia 200. The hope is to attract foreign online casinos to register in Estonia and thereby collect more gambling taxes than before, which will finance the construction of a sports hall and other cultural objects in Tartu. The Reform Party is wary of the initiative.

Plans to lower gambling taxes in Estonia and thereby attract online casinos pose a major money laundering risk to the state, warns the Minister of Finance. He also finds it incomprehensible that a lobbyist has influence over this point in the coalition agreement. Politics, Entertainment, Pension.
