After monitoring popular Telegram channels, the State Agency PlayCity found that "Truha Ukraine" systematically advertised gambling in violation of the law. The result is a fine of UAH 4.8 million for the channel owner, reports UNN with reference to the Ministry of Digital Transformation.
What PlayCity specialists found:
- systematic illegal advertising of gambling;
- lack of registration in the Register of Media Entities, which is mandatory for legal advertising;
- manipulative phrases like "won UAH 2100 from 100", "subscriber took 17 thousand" — which is misleading;
- lack of warning about ludomania;
- advertising without a contract with licensed organizers.
This is the first, but not the last successful case and a signal for bloggers and owners of Telegram channels. The law is the same for everyone — and every violation will have consequences
