Covering half of the 12% tax which is charged by the taxing authorities from the legal bookmakers significantly increases the competitiveness of the Fortuna's offer in relation to illegal bookmakers, which don't pay tax in Poland. From June 1st to July 1st, the choice between Fortuna and the operators which are not licensed by the Ministry of Finance will therefore be much easier:

1. Fortuna offers legal bets through traditional betting points as well as on-line
2. The betting offer for EURO 2012 in Fortuna is as wide as in the foreign operators
3. The tax for all sports betting during the EURO 2012 is only 6%
4. For example, the value of 6% tax rate of PLN 10 amount staked is PLN 0.60, which represents a very low price paid by the Fortuna client for no risk of punishment for participating in illegal bets at offshore operators. The remaining 6% (PLN 0.60) will be covered by Fortuna. Thus, the client op Fortuna who pays amount staked of PLN 10 will actually play for PLN 9.40, instead of PLN 8.80

„In order to ensure that EURO 2012's incredible atmosphere is not overshadowed by a high tax rate for betting, we will pay for half of that amount on behalf of our customers. This promotion concerns bets for the UEFA Champions League and other sports events fixed by our online clients and members of Fortuna Klub Plus that would like to bet in betting shops ! This is the first time in the history of Polish sport that we will be hosting such an important global event. We can achieve our biggest goals only if we combine both strategy and execution, which is why we offer special promotions, LIVE bets and the extended offer of mobile betting services. We do all this in the name of the great football festival, which is EURO 2012" - said Jan Stefanek, CEO of Fortuna zakłady bukmacherskie www.efortuna.pl.
