On April 9, 2026, the State Agency for Control of the Sphere of Gambling and Lotteries (PlayCity Agency) issued Decision No. 114-Р invalidating a prior decision issued by the Commission for the Regulation of Gambling and Lotteries. The invalidated decision, issued on February 17, 2022 (Decision No. 93), had addressed an application by limited liability company Odesa Realty Centre regarding approval of premises for organising and conducting gambling activities at a gambling establishment. The original decision confirmed that the premises met the requirements established under Ukraine's Law on State Regulation of Activities Related to the Organisation and Conduct of Gambling. The PlayCity Agency's decision to invalidate the prior commission decision in part reflects administrative action within Ukraine's gambling regulatory framework. The invalidation affects the status of the premises approval previously granted to Odesa Realty Centre. This action demonstrates the regulator's authority to review and modify prior determinations concerning compliance with statutory requirements for gambling establishment premises. The decision is available on the PlayCity Agency website and has been published in accordance with Ukraine's regulatory transparency requirements.

On April 9, 2026, Ukraine’s State Agency PlayCity adopted Decision No. 114-R, recognising as partially invalid a 2022 decision granting Odesa Realty Center LLC approval confirming that its premises complied with legal requirements for organising and conducting gambling activities. The decision concerns a gambling venue located in Odesa, authorised for slot machine operations at the “Amsterdam” Hotel. The regulator determined that the premises do not comply with Article 38 of the Law of Ukraine “On State Regulation of Activities Concerning the Organisation and Conduct of Gambling”, as they are located within 500 metres of an educational institution. Specifically, the venue is situated approximately 480 metres from a gymnasium. As a result, the approval confirming the suitability of the premises has been declared invalid in part. The decision may be challenged before an administrative court within six months from the date it is communicated to the operator.
