President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky signed the law on the liquidation of KRAIL.
On Saturday, January 4, the head of state agreed on bill No. 9256d on the liquidation of the Commission for the Regulation of Gambling and Lotteries and strengthening control over the gambling business. This was reported on the website of the Verkhovna Rada.
Now, instead of CRAIL, by April 1 of this year they must create a new body and determine which ministry will formulate policy in the field of gambling and lotteries.
The law provides for restrictions on advertising of gambling (in particular, the inadmissibility of speculation on war and volunteering) and a ban on sponsorship. In addition, the law defines additional tools to limit visits to gambling establishments and participation in gambling for potentially vulnerable categories of the population during the period of martial law.
The law also improves the instruments of control over the gambling business (test purchases, Internet monitoring) and establishes additional criteria for the revocation of licenses, improves the requirements for the impeccable business reputation of officials who organize gambling, and establishes requirements for providers of services in the field of gambling.
Let us recall that in the spring of last year, cyber specialists, on the recommendation of law enforcement officers, blocked more than 2,500 websites that hosted gambling or hosted online casino resources without the appropriate license.
