The proposed law on online gambling is presently in the process of going through the Portuguese parliamentary process. Such punitive levels of taxation will severely limit competition in the Portuguese sports betting market to the detriment of Portuguese consumers and the tax revenues that the Portuguese state could take were the market to be taxed at a sensible rate of gross gaming revenue.
