To obtain a license, companies must demonstrate an impeccable reputation, \u201chave no ties with the aggressor state\u201d, and implement responsible gaming mechanisms. These requirements apply both to new applicants and to existing operators, who have two months to submit the necessary compliance documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Failure to meet the requirements may result in fines or license revocation for gambling organisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe state will direct additional budget revenues to strengthen defense capabilities, in particular, to purchase drones for the Defense Forces,\u201d PlayCity added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
