1win: Unlicensed casino continues illegal operations in Ukraine

As the New Year approaches, 1win has given itself a present by opening unrestricted access to its website for Ukrainian users. Following our recent publication, we received confirmations from readers: this gambling operator has disabled the requirement to use a VPN, ensuring the unimpeded operation of its service.

What is known?

Despite the lack of a licence in Ukraine and the illegality of its operations, 1win:

• Provides direct access to the site without mirrors or VPN.
• Supports the Ukrainian language on the platform.
• Accepts deposits in hryvnia, clearly targeting the local audience.

Legal violations

Within the territory of Ukraine, 1win's activities do not meet legislative requirements. The company does not hold a licence to provide gambling services, rendering its operations entirely illegal. However, this appears to concern no one:

• The casino continues to operate in Ukraine, ignoring the bans.
• The company has an office in Kyiv, and its employees freely attend industry events in the capital.

Where is the authorities' reaction?

Complete inaction is observed on the part of the regulatory bodies. Questions arise:

• Why is a Russian unlicensed casino operating in Ukraine without consequences?
• Where are the supervisory bodies responsible for combating illegal gambling business?

Conclusion

1win demonstrates complete disregard for Ukrainian legislation, continuing to earn from users. The only question is: when will someone take action?
