“In December, Ukrainians replenished their gambling accounts by almost 20 billion hryvnias. In December 2024, Ukrainians replenished their gambling accounts by a record 19.4 billion hryvnias. This significantly exceeds the average monthly figure of UAH 12.7 billion for January-November 2024.”, — write on: unn.ua
People’s deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak reported this with reference to the Central Energy Research Center study, he writes UNN.
People’s deputy Zheleznyak published the statistics of the CES on how many citizens spend money on the gambling business legally. In general, on average, for January-November 2024, every month citizens spent 12.7 billion hryvnias to top up their gambling accounts.
Already in December, this indicator reached the level of UAH 19.4 billion per month.
The bad news is that the overall tax burden has decreased. This is as a percentage of top-ups (therefore, as legal top-ups grow, you also see more tax dynamics). But this means that the evasion schemes remain. Just more complicated
We will remind
In 2023, leaders in the field of gambling in Ukraine earned 54.92 billion hryvnias, which is 28 times higher than in 2022. The top 10 includes 9 online casinos, two of which are engaged in bookmaking activities, as well as 1 lottery operator.
