Article 106 of the Federal Constitution distinguishes between two sectors in the gambling market, i.e. the casino sector, and lotteries, betting, and skill games. The lotteries and betting sector in Switzerland are subject to the Swiss Federal Lotteries and Commercial Betting Act; it is primarily enforced by Swiss cantonal authorities, Comlot in particular. Casinos located in Switzerland, on the other hand, are subject to the Swiss Federal Games of Chance and Casinos Act (the “Casino Act”), which is enforced by the Federal Casino Board ESBK. On the 10th of June 2018, a new Act (the “Gambling Act”) extended the constitutional article that sets the regulations to online games and gambling. The State extended the regulations on the levies paid by providers (Art. 106) to internet providers.
