Despite online poker regulation being on the books for years in Croatia, heading into 2017 there was not one single licensed and regulated online poker operator in the country. That all changed Jan. 11 when SuperSport launched its online poker room to become the first regulated Croatian online poker room.
The Croatian government allows gaming operators to obtain an online sports, casino and poker license provided that they own a land-based casino in the country. Similar to French regulation, operators can offer their services to customers in other countries as well. Since SuperSport, a locally licensed sportsbook with over 300 street shops, operates a small land-based casino in Croatia, they were approved for a license.
