On January 4, President Volodymyr Zelensky signed Law No. 9256-D on strengthening control in the gambling market and liquidation of the Gambling and Lottery Regulation Commission (Kotles).
It is known that the document provides for the fight against game dependence and improvement of state regulation of activities in the organization and holding of gambling and lotteries.
It is determined that instead of the Gambling Regulation Commission and Lottery, a new authorized body will be formed by April 1, 2025 and a profile ministry will be determined to form a policy in the field of gambling and lottery. The process of issuing licenses for market participants will be digitally.
The gambling business was legalized in Ukraine in 2020. The relevant law provoked an ambiguous reaction. Before that, he was officially banned in Ukraine since 2009, but experts noted that gambling establishments simply went to work in the shadow.
