The government of Ukraine claims that its new gambling regulator, PlayCity, is proving effective and has blocked access to more than 2,500 online casinos.
In an official post from the Ukrainian Ministry of Digital Transformation, the ministry wrote that in its first six months of operation, PlayCity has also collected over UAH 1.4 billion ($33.2 million) in license fees from permit-holding gambling operators.
The ministry claims that PlayCity has also “launched a large-scale reform” of the Ukrainian gambling industry since its inception on March 21.
The ministry said that PlayCity had helped take a “package of important decisions that have significantly updated the rules governing the betting industry.”
