A licensed Polish internet-only bookmaker - and the 1,000 PLN risk-free bet we advertised is gone
Visit PZBuk →PZBuk welcome bonus in Poland
Context for Poland: Poland splits its online gambling in two, and the split decides what is even legal to show you. Online CASINO is a state monopoly: under the Gambling Act only Totalizator Sportowy may operate one, through Total Casino, and foreign operators cannot obtain an online casino licence at all. The Ministry of Finance maintains a blacklist of unlicensed sites that internet providers are required to block. Online SPORTS BETTING is different - private operators can be licensed by the Ministry of Finance, subject to a 12% tax on turnover. One development matters for sites like this one as much as for players: a bill introduced in early 2026 would amend the Penal Code to make promoting illegal online gambling - influencer promotion explicitly included - a serious criminal offence. So if you see a Polish-facing casino bonus advertised anywhere other than Total Casino, the operator is unlicensed here, whoever is promoting it.
Here is the current PZBuk welcome offer for players in Poland. Bonus terms change and are set by PZBuk for each market — always confirm the live offer on its own site. See every licensed betting site in Poland →
Pros
- Freebet winnings carry no turnover requirement at all
- Named Polish operating company under a Ministry of Finance permit renewed to 2030
- Trading since October 2018 under individual Polish licensing
- Offer terms are simple - a match freebet and a deposit freebet, with no rollover maze
Cons
- The 1,000 PLN risk-free bet we previously advertised no longer exists - the real package is 350 PLN
- The 50 PLN freebet requires a first deposit of at least 100 PLN
- Operator's own promotions page returns 403 to us, so terms are corroborated rather than source-verified
- Poland only, and internet betting only
Our verdict
Start with the correction, because it is the whole point of this update. We advertised a risk-free bet worth up to 1,000 PLN plus a 50 PLN free bet. PZBuk does not offer that. Polish sources agree the risk-free bet has been dropped from the welcome package entirely, and what replaced it is smaller: 350 PLN in total, made up of a match freebet equal to your first bet stake up to 300 PLN, plus a 50 PLN freebet if your first deposit is at least 100 PLN. We were publishing a figure close to three times the real one. The redeeming detail, and it is a real one: winnings from those freebets carry NO turnover requirement. In a dataset where 30x to 40x is normal and we found 300x on blackjack elsewhere this week, a smaller offer you can actually withdraw from is worth more than a large one you cannot. The licensing is solid and now specific. The operator is Cherry Online Polska sp. z o.o. of Warsaw, KRS 0000678163, reported as part of the Swedish Cherry group. Its Ministry of Finance permit is DAG10.6831.1.2024, renewed on 14 June 2024 for six years, and it covers internet betting only. PZBuk has been trading since October 2018. Poland licenses bookmakers one by one, so this is a named domestic company answerable to a national regulator. One limitation: pzbuk.pl returns 403 to us, so the corrected figures are corroborated between independent Polish sources rather than read off the operator's own terms.
How we rated it
Trust & licensing (27%)8.3
A named Polish operating company - Cherry Online Polska sp. z o.o., Warsaw, KRS 0000678163 - holding a Ministry of Finance permit, DAG10.6831.1.2024, renewed on 14 June 2024 for six years. Poland licenses bookmakers individually and PZBuk is internet-only under that permit, trading since October 2018.
Sportsbook (36%)7.5
A genuinely legally-licensed operator in Poland.
Bonuses & value (18%)7.5
Corrected downward from 8.0, which had been awarded to an offer that no longer exists. The real package is 350 PLN - a match freebet up to 300 PLN plus 50 PLN for depositing at least 100 PLN - not the 1,000 PLN risk-free bet we advertised. It stays respectable because freebet winnings carry NO turnover requirement, which is rarer than a big headline and worth more.
Customer support (18%)6.8
The previous 7.0 rested on no search. We found no complaint dossier and no substantial independent evidence either way; this reflects thin evidence rather than a demonstrated record.

How we verified this
Licence numbers and the operating company come from Polish market references rather than the affiliate page our original review relied on. Because the operator's own promotions page is unreachable to us, the corrected offer is presented as corroborated across sources - and we state that the previous figure was withdrawn rather than quietly swapping the number.

About PZBuk
PZBuk is a Polish online bookmaker operated by Cherry Online Polska sp. z o.o. of Warsaw (KRS 0000678163), reported as part of the Swedish Cherry group, live since October 2018 and licensed by the Ministry of Finance for internet betting only - permit DAG10.6831.1.2024, renewed on 14 June 2024 for six years, succeeding the original PS4.6831.26.2017. On the offer, a correction that matters: we used to advertise a risk-free bet up to 1,000 PLN. Polish sources agree the risk-free bet is no longer part of the welcome offer at all. The real package is 350 PLN - a match freebet equal to your first bet stake up to 300 PLN, plus a 50 PLN freebet requiring a first deposit of at least 100 PLN. Winnings from those freebets carry no turnover requirement, which is genuinely clean.
