The new gambling regulator, the Commission for the Regulation of Gambling and Lotteries (KRAIL), has begun flexing its muscle. The regular has warned operators to remove illegal advertising, threatening to prosecute any that do not do so “as soon as possible”. As it had detected several infringements and would act if they are not amended.
Article 22 of Ukraine’s advertising law bans gambling advertisements across a broad selection of media. Outdoor advertising is prohibited.
It said: “In the process of performing tasks assigned to KRAIL in accordance with the legislation, cases of gambling advertising in violation of the requirements of the current legislation of Ukraine have been revealed. KRAIL calls on the organizers of gambling to take immediate and comprehensive measures as soon as possible to stop violations of current legislation.”
In the absence of a proper and timely response from the organizers of gambling, it would take all measures provided by the applicable law to prevent violations of the law and prosecute offenders. The main purpose of state policy in the field of organization and conduct of gambling is to create conditions to reduce social risks associated with their organization and conduct and ensure compliance by gambling organizers.
