Portugal only began regulating gambling in 2015, but local reports say the country’s government will review its gambling laws as part of its 2018 budget deliberations.
The review could lead to an expansion of the country’s online gambling laws and proposed regulations for national and international liquidity for different online gaming and betting services. The country recently entered into a shared online poker liquidity agreement with France, Italy, and Spain.
Analysts said the country may also seek to allow an expansion of online sports betting, according to the reports.
