During an interview for the Bulgarian news agency, the Executive Director of the National Revenue Agency (NRA) Boris Mihaylov commented that during the last year NRA has put a focus on the responsible gaming subject. “Our goal is to limit gambling addiction, to give guidelines for responsible gaming and to protect adolescents”, he said.
