Recall
The State Agency of Ukraine PlayCity, which is responsible for implementing state policy in the field of gambling and lotteries, instead of the Commission for the Regulation of Gambling and Lotteries, annulled the license of the Russian casino "Pin-Up" to operate in Ukraine.
Eradicating casinos with a Russian trace is one of PlayCity's priority tasks. Before the launch of the state agency, decisions on issuing licenses were made by a person – this was one of the most corrupt stages in the gambling sector. PlayCity automates the process to eliminate the human factor and make the sector transparent and controlled. PlayCity is already showing real changes in the industry and setting clear rules of the game – the agency has annulled the license of the Russian casino PIN-UP to operate in Ukraine.
Tetiana Sapyan, communications advisor to the State Bureau of Investigation, reported that the director of the online casino "Pin-Up", suspected of laundering Russian money, was taken into custody.
"As of today, in addition to the announced suspicion of aiding the aggressor state, a preventive measure has already been chosen for the director of this company – this is detention, without the alternative of bail," Sapyan said.
