Bulgaria loses hundreds of millions of BGN each year as a result of the activity of illegal operators of online gambling.
This has been reported by the BGNES agency which cites data provided to it by representatives of the State Gambling Commission.

The statistics shows that in 2006 the turnover from illegal online gambling operations in Bulgaria was BGN 500 M, going up to BGN 700 M in 2007, and BGN 1 B in 2008; the figure is expected to reach BGN 1,5 B in 2009.
