KRAIL continues to actively combat illegal gambling platforms available to Ukrainian players. The list of blocked resources includes such sites as 1xslot.com, bet2casino.fun, betmatch2win.com, betwinner6.com and kasinos-vip.net.
“These sites provide access to gambling from the territory of Ukraine without the appropriate KRAIL license, which is a serious violation of the current legislation in the field of gambling,” the commission explained.
Since the beginning of the year, KRAIL has blocked almost 3,000 illegal sites, seeking to limit the spread of problem gambling in the country. Owners of blocked resources are given three days to cease operations in Ukraine.
Self-Exclusion Program Registrations Increase in Ukraine
At the same time, KRAIL has noted a steady increase in the number of self-exclusion program participants. Between July and August, the number of registered players increased by 7%, reaching 557 new applications.
According to the commission, 5,269 people have signed up for the self-exclusion program since the beginning of the year, and the total number of self-excluded players as of August 1 was 8,431. For comparison, as of July 1, there were 7,874.
KRAIL emphasizes the importance of this register in preventing gambling addiction in Ukraine.
In addition, the issue of online fraud, when local players are lured to illegal sites, was discussed at a recent meeting. Funds deposited on such platforms are then transferred to other accounts, and players are asked to pay a fee to get their money back.
After payment, the site marks their activity as fraudulent, and players are required to pay an additional fine.
KRAIL encourages players to check the license of online operators before starting to play.
