On 13 November 2026, Croatia's Tax Administration (Porezna uprava) published a new version of its list of unlicensed gambling sites that internet providers must block. It adds 44 names, all numbered copies of one brand, from billybets-1009.com to billybets-9770.com, ordered on 9 November. Providers have 15 days from the date of the order, so these names should be blocked by 24 November. The list now holds 1,532 different names, and more of its orders are dated 2026 than any earlier year.

How the Croatian list works
Since amendments to the General Tax Act took effect at the start of 2019, the Tax Administration can order an unlicensed gambling site to stop operating in Croatia. Under the implementing rules the Finance Ministry put out for consultation in January 2019, the order goes to HAKOM, the telecom regulator, and internet providers carry it out by blocking access. The Tax Administration's page says each listed address is blocked within 15 days of the order date shown in the list, and invites the domain's owner to contact it (igre.na.srecu@porezna-uprava.hr) within 30 days, counted from that 15th day. Hrvatski Telekom and Telemach send a blocked name to a block address that sits in the Tax Administration's own network.

Why 2026 is the busiest year so far
The list gives the date of every order. In the file of 13 November, 434 entries carry an order date in 2026, against 292 in 2024 and 245 in 2025. September 2026 alone brought 165. Many recent orders hit numbered copies of one brand: 39 names from nomini-1822.com to nomini-9984.com on 23 October, and the 44 billybets names on 9 November.

What our check saw on Hrvatski Telekom, A1 and Telemach
On 13 November 2026 at 21:52 UTC we checked nomini-1822.com, one of the names ordered on 23 October. Public DNS outside Croatia returned addresses for it, and our control server in Germany loaded the page, so the site itself works. Inside Croatia our check saw it blocked in the providers' DNS (the internet's "address book" that turns a name into a server address) on 5 of 6 lines:
- Hrvatski Telekom, home and mobile. The provider's DNS sent the name to the Tax Administration's block address.
- Telemach, home and mobile. The same: the name went to the block address.
- A1, home. The provider's DNS answered that the name does not exist.
- A1, mobile. No result: we could not tell a block from a fault.
Each blocked line was seen on at least 3 customers' connections in 3 different network segments. Over https, a visitor sent to the block address gets the block server's certificate instead of the site's, so the browser shows a security error, not a notice. Our results are marked "likely" at most and are not yet calibrated.
What it means if you run or promote a gambling site
- The list is public and dated. You can look up your domain in the Tax Administration's file and see the date of its order, which tells you when providers had to act.
- Names, not addresses. Providers block the listed names in their DNS. A site that only shares a server or CDN address with a listed name is not on the list.
- Two ways a block looks. On Hrvatski Telekom and Telemach a blocked name leads to the Tax Administration's server; on A1's home network it looks like a domain that does not exist. A support ticket that says "the site does not exist" can still be this list.
- If you think your domain was listed by mistake, the Tax Administration's page names the address to write to and the 30-day period.
