KYIV. UkraineGate . 19 . September . 2022 | Ukraine News.
The Ministry of Justice of Ukraine said that the Commission for the Regulation of State Games and Lotteries should initiate the introduction of sanctions against the pro-Russian bookmaker 1xBet, which previously had licenses to work in Ukraine, issued by Tvoya Betting Company LLC.
Quote
“A proposal for the application of sanctions must contain information about the actions of persons and facts that confirm the existence of grounds for its application, and therefore such a proposal must be initiated by a state body that has information at its disposal, information that can be used as a justification for the proposal to the National Council of Security and Defense (NSDC, – ed.) (…) The implementation of state policy in the field of organization and conduct of gambling and lotteries, as well as the implementation of state supervision (control) of the gambling market, in the field of lotteries, belong to the main tasks of KRAIL “, the Ministry of Justice reported.
Context
On September 6, the Gambling and Lotteries Regulatory Commission revoked the licenses of Tvoya Bettingova Kompaniya LLC, which operated in Ukraine under the 1xBet brand.
According to the results of checking the information in the documents submitted by LLC “TBK” (1xBet) when it received licenses to work in Ukraine, unreliable information was found in the context of the connection of LLC “TBK” (1xBet) with the aggressor state.
At the same time, the official site with the domain name 1xbet.ua, for which the Commission for the Regulation of Gambling and Lotteries issued licenses to Russians, did not work in Ukraine at all, but all mirror sites, despite the cancellation of licenses, are still available to Ukrainian players: you can place bets, play online casinos and games .
In addition, the Russians involved in the creation of 1xBet – Roman Semiokhin, Serhii Karshkov and Dmytro Kazorin – have not yet been included in the sanctions list of Ukraine.
