Tanel Tein is a member of the Riigikogu.
He says that the Ministry of Finance made a mistake.
The text of the law was incorrect.
This was not a political decision.
It was simply an error.
Tein wanted to amend the law.
He wanted to reduce the tax from 6% to 4%.
Everyone agreed with this.
But in September, the word "skill game" was added to the law.
This was a mistake.
It caused confusion.
The error was corrected in November.
But the incorrect version continued.
In 2026, online casinos will not be taxed.
This was a mistake.
Tein says that this was not planned.
The Minister of Finance says that the error is the fault of the Riigikogu.
Tein wanted to change Estonia.
He wanted Estonia to be a better place for gambling.
This was supposed to bring more revenue.
The law was also supported by other members of the Riigikogu.
