UGC Calls on Google to Lift Gambling Ad Ban While Ukraine Faces Crisis
In a stunning display of political genius, the Ukrainian Gambling Council (UGC) is urging Google to lift its restrictions on advertising legal gambling operators in Ukraine—all while the country grapples with a war. It seems that politicians everywhere share a common goal: lining their pockets at the expense of legitimate businesses and the public's well-being.
The UGC argues that Google’s current policy, which treats Ukraine as a jurisdiction where all gambling (except lotteries) is banned, benefits illegal operators while stifling legal businesses and tax revenue. By blocking advertisements from licensed Ukrainian gambling operators, Google is inadvertently paving the way for unscrupulous entities to thrive. These illegal operators can easily exploit loopholes by shifting domain names and jurisdictions, leaving the legitimate businesses to suffer.
Despite having the proper state permits and investing heavily in marketing, including sports sponsorships, licensed operators find themselves unable to promote their services online. This not only leads to significant customer loss but also reduces tax revenues for the state—something that seems lost on the politicians making these decisions.
Interestingly, the UGC points out that lottery operators, whose licenses expired back in 2014, are still allowed to operate and advertise freely. These operators continue to imitate various forms of gambling without proper licenses or tax contributions, further complicating the situation.
In light of these issues, the UGC has reached out to Google’s regional office, seeking permission for licensed operators to advertise various gambling activities—including casino games, betting, and poker—on Google platforms. They are also requesting the ability to promote mobile gambling applications.
In the midst of a war, this push for gambling ads highlights the absurdity of prioritizing profits over the pressing needs of the nation. It’s a classic example of how politicians everywhere seem more focused on filling their own pockets than on addressing the real issues at hand.
Spartan113 Informative, thanks to the author! Now I will know that this has happened. The lesson for the future is to check everything three times.
MisterM1mba One thing is clear – if the software is buggy, then it is a casino problem. Why should a player suffer?

Smoolbeansam Do I think it's getting harder and harder to understand the rules in these new slots? It used to be simple - you spin the reels and look at the lines. And now there are some pedestals, cascades, respins... I'm completely confused! And what is volatility? Can anyone explain it in simple terms?

It’s shocking how they’re willing to exploit a crisis for profit. Lifting ad restrictions on gambling is the last thing Ukraine needs right now!
Let’s just ignore the war and boost the gambling industry instead. Seems like the perfect plan for a government that’s out of touch!
Classic political move! They’d rather fill their pockets than support legitimate businesses or focus on what truly matters in a time of crisis.
Unbelievable! While there's a war going on, politicians are pushing for gambling ads instead of addressing real issues. Priorities, right?
