Ukrainian Gambling License

Before 2020, gambling was an illegal activity in Ukraine. The reason for this was because, in 2009, the Ukrainian government passed a law to ban all gambling activities in the country after a casino fire killed nine people who were inside the building. As a result, several entities and many people in Ukraine demanded that gambling be made illegal. A law banning gambling was eventually passed.

In 2020 however, the government passed a new law making certain types of gambling legal again. Casinos and online casinos can now legally open as long as they operate by specific rules. Licenses that casinos obtain last for five years, and the main activities that this license allows include:

  • Slot machines
  • Poker
  • Betting
  • Online casinos
