Donald TuskAccording to news site Javno.com, Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk [pictured far right] has said that legislation is being drafted with the intent of banning gambling outside casinos as well as Internet gambling and advertising for games of chance.

The legislation will also aim to introduce state concessions for casinos, as well as higher gambling taxes. It will be illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to gamble also.

Earlier this month, Tusk let many key ministers and political allies go due to concerns over influential behaviour regarding this new legislation. He now intends on having the new legislation drafted up within the next two weeks.
