Beware of illegal gambling games on the Internet!
According to Polish law* participation in gambling games organized
on the Internet by entities that do not have the appropriate permission is prohibited.
What does this mean in practice:

This also applies to payments made to entities listed in the Register of Domains Used for Offering Gambling Games in violation of the Act maintained by the Ministry of Finance. The full list of domain names entered into the Register is available at https://hazard.mf.gov.pl/

- We remind you that it is prohibited to use cards or other instruments or payment services offered by the Cooperative Bank in Szczytno for transactions related to illegal gambling.
- It is also prohibited to receive winnings from illegal gambling games.
Participation in illegal gambling is a crime
