Ukrainian Gaming Congress will be held in Ukraine for the first time ever!
On September 29, 2015, we will hold a unique event on the global gambling market – Ukrainian Gaming Congress, a platform that will bring together representatives of the authorities and the gambling industry to discuss the possibility of its revival in Ukraine http://ukrainegaming.com.ua/en/.
On July 24, 2015, Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine registered a draft law “On State Control and Legal Basis for the Organization of Gambling.” This law provides for comprehensive regulation of activities in the field of gambling in accordance with the rules and laws of the majority of European countries.
The idea of the bill, being authored by members of People’s Front Party of the Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk, is to introduce a unified law, which will regulate gambling. In addition, the point at issue is about the creation of an effective licensing system, set of rules and requirements for all segments of gambling (lotteries, bookmakers, and casinos) and a complete legalization of their activities, as well as their online work.
In the case of the adoption of the law and successful implementation of the project, the Ukrainian authorities expect that the legalization of gambling will be an additional source of income for the national budget, as well as contribute to the development of hotel and tourism business.
Arseniy Yatsenyuk: “… to adopt a law on bringing the gambling business out of ‘shadow’ and get additional income to finance Ukrainian culture, art and Ukrainian cinema.”
The given statement says that the Ukrainian market will become a full member of the gambling industry as early as in 2016. Where should one start? What will happen to the gambling in Ukraine? How should one earn money? What will be allowed? How it all will operate? All this issues will be discussed at Ukrainian Gaming Congress gracongress.com.ua.
The purpose of Ukrainian Gaming Congress is to bring together the representatives of government bodies, gambling zones, investors, owners of betting programs, hotel and tourist industry, foreign casino chains, experts and lawyers to review the prospects for the resumption of work of gambling business in Ukraine and submit proposals and business ideas to the country’s leadership.
Politicians and officials understand that the legalization of the gambling business will provide an opportunity to invest in the country and its development. That is why they are so interested in such developments. Ukrainian Gaming Congress will make it possible to discuss all issues that will help businesspersons be ready to enter the market after the gambling industry legitimacy recognition. In addition, the following issues will be discussed at the Congress:
- What prospects will the gaming market opening provide to Ukraine?
- Will it finally be opened or is it just a small talk?
- Will all business segments be allowed?
- Who will be the main players on the market?
- What will happen to the “black” business in the case of legalization?
- Who will arrive to play in Ukraine?

The subtleties of gambling in Ukraine from Slotegrator: how to start a land-based casino business
Casino solution provider for gaming businesses Slotegrator continues to study the Ukrainian gambling market and to provide answers to the most popular questions in the industry through its educational materials. This time, the company — one of the leading aggregators in the Eastern European market — has thoroughly examined the question of how to open a land-based casino in Ukraine.
Now that gambling has been legalized in Ukraine, the government of the country is counting on a new inflow of investments triggered by tempting gaming prospects to bolster its economy. New opportunities, which are seeing the light of day after operating under the cover of night over the past decade, are obviously set to attract operators — especially those who are fully aware of the gambling industry’s potential.
Even with the pandemic and some of its consequences, such as quarantine restrictions and in some cases lockdowns, land-based casinos are still picking up in popularity as the demand for real, live game experiences is not diminishing — to say the least. On the contrary, the lack of socialization and interpersonal communication brought on by the pandemic has awakened players’ desire to enjoy the atmosphere of a gambling establishment.
The new article from Slotegrator covers all the key aspects of launching a land-based casino business in Ukraine. It provides a market overview and unveils the crucial details of getting a gambling license — one of the most popular queries among those looking to break into the industry. Also, operators will learn what requirements they will have to satisfy and what fees they will have to pay to obtain a gambling license.
While focusing on how to open a casino, the article analyzes essential aspects of the land-based business, such as the role of gambling equipment, the necessity of a centralized monitoring system, the importance of the talent acquisition process, and the value of high-quality marketing and first-class customer support.
Regardless of the scope of the gambling establishment, the business principles remain the same for everyone. Therefore, “How to open a land-based casino in Ukraine” will interest both proven businessmen who are expanding their enterprises and those who are just taking their first steps in the gambling industry.
