The Ukrainian parliament is preparing for the second reading of gambling bill No. 2285-d, according to Vadim Misyura, the general director of all-Ukrainian union of bookmakers. He tips the second reading to take place in April or May.

He says that the committee and its staff processed and systematized a huge number of amendments submitted by deputies (over 3,500), prepared a comparative table. These amendments were put forward by working groups comprising members of parliament and industry experts. Since the first reading of the bill, seven meetings of the working group have been held.

“As far as I know, two sections of the bill have been considered, more than 1,500 revisions have been made. It can be stated that the current level of discussion, both within the Parliament and within the profile environment, is tense and active. And this is understandable because there are a lot of reputational and political risks both for the government, and for business,” the expert said.
