Ukraine prepares gambling access checks for military personnel
Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation and Ministry of Defence are preparing a system to restrict military personnel from gambling during martial law, with PlayCity set to implement it. Operators would check users against a military list and block matches without being told a person’s military status; the measure follows legislation passed in 2024 banning online gambling for armed forces members.
Operators would need to add a military-personnel check to existing exclusion-register screening.
