Gambling platform Favbet hit with a $2.4 million fine by financial regulatory KRAIL
It's stated that KRAIL, Ukraine's gambling regulator, fined the first company for unlawful gambling promotion - "Vіsnyk+K". Reportedly, the company's ad ran a gambling operation without a license, as per the regulator.
A significant update in gambling advertising regulations occurred in October. Now, KRAIL is tasked with monitoring compliance and penalizing violators. This stricter regulatory environment was set in place by the new rules.
Currently, bill 9256-d, which aims at almost entirely banning gambling advertisements, is under review in Ukraine's parliament, the Rada. Businesses allegedly view this bill as a form of lobbying.
However, it should be noted that the latest details on the status of bill 9256-d and the near-total ban on gambling advertising are not readily available. It's essential to reference official Ukrainian parliamentary records or credible news sources to gather the most recent information on this matter.
