The fiscal base of the Croatian market consists of concession/license payments of operators and taxes on winnings of players (progressive bets), while calculations are carried out in EUR.
Revenue is distributed between land-based casinos (Zagreb and Adriatic resorts) and the rapidly growing online segment; offline demonstrates pronounced seasonality (summer tourist peak), and online smoothes the off-season due to live products and mobile traffic.
Operators' costs are growing against the backdrop of KYC/AML requirements, anti-fraud and responsible gaming tools, but the transition to cashless/open-banking accelerates turnover and payments.
Key KPIs: GGR/NGR, mobile channel share, ARPU/rate rate, withdrawal rate, retention/outflow.
The trend until 2030 is moderate but stable growth with strict compliance, the consolidation of offline around resorts and the further strengthening of the "online-first" model.
