Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is pointing and presenting methods connected with the usage and the interpretation of the European Union law in accordance to colliding with it Polish law, regulating the games of chance to 3rd of September 2015. Moreover in the paper the problem of possibility of determining the criminal responsibility of the persons establishing or arranging the games of chance in accordance with the Article 107 § 1 of Polish Criminal Fiscal Code and the provisions of the law about the games of chance was presented. Entering into force the law from 19th of November 2009 about the games of chance instead of terminating the notion of administrative limitations of economic activity in the scope of games of chance caused enormous problems with its usage. Another issue which emerged was the lack of notification of technical provisions (among others referring to the products offered by enterpreneurs), what effected also the lack of possibility of establishing the criminal responsibility of persons establishing or arranging the games of chance. Framing of criminal responsability in accordance with the blanket provisions (Article 107 § 1 of Polish Criminal Fiscal Code) does not meet the requirements of transparency and certainty of law. Thus it would be reasonable to reconsider the reformulation of the principles of the criminal fiscal responsibility for illegal establishing or arranging the games of chance.
