Ukrainians are increasingly spending more on gambling In December 2024, citizens deposited a record UAH 19.4 billion into gambling accounts.
This was reported by MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak with reference to the CES study, UNN reports.
MP Zhelezniak published CES statistics on how much citizens spend on gambling legally. On average, in January-November 2024, citizens spent UAH 12.7 billion per month to replenish gambling accounts.
In December, this figure reached UAH 19.4 billion per month.
The bad news is that the tax burden has decreased overall. This is as a percentage of deposits (so as legal deposits grow, you see more tax dynamics). But this means that evasion schemes remain. They are just more complex
