On 14 July 2020, the Parliament of Ukraine adopted the Law “On State Regulation of Activities on Organising and Conducting Gambling” (the “Law<\/strong>“), which provides for permission and state regulation of gambling in Ukraine. Thus, the total ban on gambling, existing since 2009, will be lifted soon.<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 exhaustive list of gambling activities;<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 licensing gambling activities with a fee depending on location, type, etc<\/em>.;<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 requirements for organizers of gambling activities, including financial conditions, to ensure their financial stability and guarantee the prize payments;<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 establishment of a regulator, the Commission of the Gambling Games Development and Regulation, responsible for licensing of gambling, maintaining necessary registers, establishing certification requirements for gambling equipment, etc<\/em>.;<\/p>\n

6)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 online monitoring system to ensure the state control over gambling;<\/p>\n
