Ukrainian Gambling Companies Develop Software to Detect Illegal Online Casinos

In Ukraine, software is being created that will allow for the automated detection of illegal online casinos, in particular those operating under the guise of Ukrainian brands but managed from the territory of the Russian Federation.

A group of legal gambling operators have joined forces to jointly finance the creation of specialised software to detect illegal online casinos. The project is being implemented by a newly formed industry association, which includes companies with their own IT teams.

It is expected that the developed software solution will be able to scan the Ukrainian Internet segment for resources that conduct gambling activities without a license. The priority is resources that imitate legal operators, but are actually controlled from the Russian Federation.

The association is already cooperating with the PlayCity State Agency and the SBU. The software will be integrated into the state monitoring infrastructure to make blocking faster and legal confirmation of illegal status automated.
