The gambling landscape in Ukraine has shifted dramatically, with the national Register of Problem Gamblers swelling to an astounding 13,000 entries.

This surge in self-exclusion is a clear indication of growing awareness and concern about gambling issues among Ukrainians.
In just the first two months of 2025, over 1,700 new registrations were recorded, signifying an average of around 860 per month. This is a noteworthy 10% increase compared to the previous year[1].
