PlayCity lottery tender draws applications from all three Ukrainian operators
Ukraine’s three incumbent lottery operators—M.S.L. LLC, Ukrainian National Lottery and PJSC Patriot—reportedly applied for PlayCity’s licence tender before the 29 December deadline. PlayCity head Hennadiy Novikov said the tender would not admit new operators under current legislative restrictions; licences are expected to run for the period of martial law plus one year, capped at three years.
The tender could determine whether Ukraine’s three incumbent lottery operators retain licences and set the market’s licensing conditions.
