Summary/Abstract: The article is focused on concession (special type of administrative decision) to conduct business in the area of casinos. The aim of the author is to show a wider perspective of this problem in the context of regulations which are limiting the freedom of economic activity. Because of that the article also shortly describes other forms, such as regulated economic activity or licensed economic activity. Thanks to that the position of concession in the structure of instruments used to limit economic activity is shown. The article mentions the regulations provided by Business Activities Freedom Act, but is mainly focused on the regulations of Gambling Act, which regulates casino’s concession.
