The new Ukrainian regulations on responsible gambling came into force in September, after they were approved by the country’s Ministry of Justice on August 11 by a decision.
The country’s regulator, the Gambling and Lottery Regulatory Commission (KRAIL), published the rules for the first time in June.
The rules include restrictions on bonuses for existing players. Operators must “refrain from offering players bonus payments and/or the provision of goods or services through incentives, the provision of which is directly or indirectly due to the loss of a player in a particular game”.
This rule would mean that operators may not offer a bonus to players because they have lost money or make a loss-dependent bonus.
All players must also have the option to self-exclude and set deposit limits. In addition, players must be allowed to see how much time they have spent gambling.
Operators are required to train staff to recognize the definition and possible signs of the gambling problem.
“Responsible gambling is a basic principle of the organization and conduct of gambling and involves the implementation of measures to prevent and minimize the negative consequences of individual participation in gambling, as well as measures to organize self-control and self-control for players,” said KRAIL.
“The consequence of respecting the principles of responsible gaming is to increase the reputation of the organizers among the players.”
The rules come into force after Ukraine re-legalized various forms of gambling last year, when the country’s gambling law was signed into law.
KRAIL is quite controversial, after a former chairman of the regulator was detained last month because he received a bribe of $ 90,000 in exchange for permitting gambling permits and licenses.
