How to Obtain a Ukrainian Gambling License: Step-by-Step Guide

Ukraine’s newly regulated gambling market presents significant opportunities for operators, investors, and service providers. Our legal team guides you through every step to ensure a seamless licensing process and full legal compliance. First, we assess your business model and prepare all necessary statutory documents, including proof of authorized capital (minimum 30 million UAH) and a bank deposit (34 million UAH). We also assist in obtaining facility and domain compliance certificates if required for your gambling activities (offline and online). Next, we prepare and file your application to the Ukrainian Gambling and Lotteries Regulation Commission (KRAIL), following up meticulously until a decision is rendered—typically within three weeks. Our experts advise you on additional documents such as certificates for gaming machines and tables, or for service providers. We consult you on regulatory audits and annual compliance duties, ensuring that your business maintains good standing throughout the license’s five-year validity. Should your company qualify for the investment program, our team assists in structuring deals that may grant a free 10-year offline casino license with the construction of a five-star hotel complex. License fees are calculated based on business type and minimum wage rates, with the current fee for an online casino license set at 39 million UAH. Operating without a license is not only illegal, it exposes your company to harsh financial and criminal penalties. With our ongoing support, you gain a clear competitive advantage, full transparency for your investors and partners, and the ability to expand within Ukraine’s growing, regulated market. Start your journey today and let us help you build a sustainable, legally compliant gambling business in Ukraine.
