Ukrainian Regulator Revokes Parimatch License Due To Ties With Russia And Belarus

The Commission for Regulation on Gambling and Lotteries (KRAIL) has revoked the licenses of three gambling companies in Ukraine. This is stated in the press service of the regulator.

In accordance with the decision taken at the Commission’s meeting after the renewal of the quorum, three legal entities had their licenses revoked in accordance with earlier imposed sanctions:

  • PARIMATCH LLC — licenses for the organization and conduct of casino gambling activities on the Internet and for the organization and conduct of sports betting activities;
  • POKEMATCH.UA LLC — licenses for the organization and conduct of poker games on the Internet;
  • POINTLOTO LLC — licenses for the organization and conduct of casino gambling activities on the Internet.

KRAIL made a decision to revoke the licenses due to the presence of managerial ties with Russian residents.

In March 2023, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, imposed sanctions on Russian sports betting operators, including those associated with the Parimatch brand, owned by Russian citizens.
