The government run Bulgarian Sports Totalisator which combines sportsbook and national lottery also operates.
ONLINE Sports betting is permitted on horse and dog racing plus
football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, boxing, hockey and motorcycle and car racing.
Sports betting in Bulgaria was illegal under communist rule and it was not until 1990 that Eurofootball, the first private bookmaker, launched their operations in this country.
