  • Kesarev Memo | Ukraine Gambling Law | July 2020
    Kesarev 42-44, Shovkovychna Street, office 318 Kyiv, UA-01004, Ukraine +38.094.710-02-59 [email protected] UKRAINE’S PARLIAMENT REVOKES 2009 BAN ON GAMBLING On July 14, the Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) of Ukraine lifted the ban on gambling by adopting the draft law “On state regulation of activities in the organization and conduct of gambling” (2285d) in the second reading and as a whole. The introduction of the ban in 2009 had not lead to the disappearance of gambling, but instead simply created “grey” and “black” gambling markets in Ukraine, amidst growing criminalization (the gambling business was bypassing prohibition by using gaps in legislation. Various types of gambling were acting under the guise of forms allowed by the legislation, primarily lotteries and similar betting games). Background The drive for the legalization of gambling had been signposted as part of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zenelsky’s economic plan. After his election in mid-2019, Zenelsky had promised to legalize the gambling business in order to secure additional budget revenue. The adopted law reflects the compromise reached between the State and market players who were actively engaged in the development of this legislative initiative and its improvement. Key Provisions of the Law The newly adopted law creates the legal basis for the State regulation of economic activity in the field of organization and holding of gambling in Ukraine, and determines the legal, economic, social and organizational conditions for the functioning of gambling. In particular, the law provides for: • an exclusive list of activities in the field of gambling that are allowed in Ukraine, including: o organization and holding of games of chance in casinos and gambling establishments; o organization and holding of games of chance by casinos online; o organization and holding of betting activity in bookmakers’ facilities and online; o organization and holding of games of chance in slot machines halls; o organization and holding of games of chance in poker online.

ABSTRACT This thesis mainly consists of three empirical chapters related to understanding the characteristics, economic impact and the demand for gambling in Thailand. Beginning with a review of the theoretical and empirical literature, this confirms that socio-economic and demographic data are important determinants of the level of gambling participation and gambling expenditure. A Logit model is then used to estimate the participation of gambling. The results suggest that the number games, such as the government lottery, the underground lottery, are popular among old gamblers whereas football betting is popular for adolescents. In the past, most casino customers were old gamblers, but at present the number of young gamblers who participate in casino has considerably increased.
