Bulgarian football clubs, as well as the Bulgarian boxing and basketball federations have spoken out against the submitted bill to amend the country's Gambling Act. According to the representatives of the sports organizations, the changes create preconditions for the termination of partnerships of such sports organizations with some of their main sponsors, which will lead to a deterioration of the conditions for achieving higher professional achievements and a positive image of Bulgarian sport.
The changes proposed by the National Fund for the Salvation of Bulgaria party envisage that the gambling activities be limited and allowed only in national resorts, five-star hotels and within a radius of 20 km from the border checkpoints.
