The government restarts the licensing of gambling: millions of hryvnias for defense

The government has approved new licensing rules in the gambling industry. The State Agency PlayCity will issue licenses to market participants, which is an important step in restarting licensing. New requirements include impeccable business reputation and the absence of connections with the aggressor state for gambling organizers. The introduction of responsible gaming mechanisms and the expansion of technical capabilities of the online monitoring system for controlling player actions are also envisaged. The State Tax Service will have direct access to the system to track the financial indicators of gambling organizers. The government's goal is to create a civilized gambling market and ensure significant budget revenues to strengthen the country's defense capabilities.
