The online casino operator VBet has announced its entry into the Ukrainian gambling market
The operator stated that immediately following the legalization of the gambling industry in Ukraine by President Volodymyr Zelensky in August of last year, it initiated the process of forming and submitting its application to operate within this jurisdiction. These efforts have resulted in VBet becoming the first licensed online poker operator in the country.
"Our team sees significant potential in the Ukrainian market and is excited to offer our clients fully legal and high-quality entertainment solutions. VBet is committed to promoting responsible gambling, supporting local sports, adhering to the highest standards of business ethics, and infusing the market with energy, creativity, and passion," said Vigen Badalyan, CEO and founder of BetConstruct.
VBet claims that its entry into the regulated Ukrainian market is an "important strategic step" in expanding its presence across various globally regulated markets. In Ukraine, VBet will operate under the .ua domain.
Seda Mkhtaryan, head of licensing and certification at VBet, commented, "It is a great honor and privilege for me to receive approval from the Ukrainian Gambling and Lottery Regulatory Commission to launch our online casino and poker platform in this country. This is a significant event for us, especially during challenging times. It has been a long and difficult journey, but for our team, the sky is not the limit."
On July 14, 2020, the Ukrainian Parliament legalized gambling in the country, which was viewed by the highest leadership as a "historic event." This activity had been banned at the legislative level for nearly a decade (since 2009).
Additionally, the head of the Ukrainian Gambling Council has revealed details about the system designed to protect citizens from gambling addiction.
