The money that the bookmaker 1xBet paid for issuing licenses to work in Ukraine is bloody, because Russians are involved in it. Demyan Hanul, a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine .

“It is not excluded that there (in the issuance of the 1xBet license – ed.) there is a corruption component. Well, Russian companies don’t want to leave the Ukrainian market, they want to continue making money, because they don’t care that their country attacked ours. This is purely money, bloody money”, – believes the serviceman.
Context
Despite the war, the 1xBet betting company, owned by Russians, continues to operate in Ukraine. Ukrainians opposed her work and called on the President to revoke her license .
Zelensky replied and suggested that Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal should deal with the issue of the company’s work with the involvement of law enforcement officers.
And after – he once again declared that all businesses with Russian roots should stop working in Ukraine .
Despite this, the Commission for the Regulation of Gambling and Lotteries, which issued 1xBet licenses, is engaged in “political blindness” and does not want to see the Russian footprint of the bookmaker, but they are the only body in the state that has the exclusive right to cancel bookmakers’ licenses to work in Ukraine.
