Gambling regulator receives tools for inspections: what has changed

According to Главком: The order No. 85-OD has entered into force, which approves the form of the inspection act in the field of gambling, providing the regulator with new tools for conducting scheduled and unscheduled inspections.

Violations in gambling advertising

In the last six months, PlayCity has identified numerous violations in gambling advertising. In particular, Anna Alhim was fined for promoting a casino on Instagram. A total of 14 bloggers, websites, and media have been fined a total of 67.2 million hryvnias for violations related to gambling advertising. It is important to note that fines that are not paid will be transferred to the enforcement service for compulsory collection.

Additionally, the Cabinet of Ministers approved the procedure for submitting an application for obtaining a license through the 'Diia' portal, which will simplify the process for gambling operators. A new resolution aimed at protecting people from gambling addiction has also been adopted, indicating the growing attention to the problem of gambling dependency. These changes indicate the state's efforts to regulate the gambling market and protect consumer rights.

The introduction of new inspection tools in the field of gambling highlights regulators' increasing attention to this market.

At the same time, simplifying the licensing process through the 'Diia' portal may contribute to the legalization and control of operators' activities, which in turn should positively impact the market as a whole. The implementation of measures to protect against gambling addiction also indicates the need to consider the social aspects of gambling, which may improve the situation regarding addiction in society.
