According to Decision No. 305-r, the penalty follows PlayCity's consideration of a case concerning breaches of advertising requirements documented in an infringement report dated July 29, 2026.

The penalty was imposed pursuant to Article 59 of the Law of Ukraine on State Regulation of Activities Relating to the Organisation and Conduct of Gambling. Arena Fight Championship must pay the fine to the State Budget of Ukraine within three months from the date the decision enters into force.

If the company does not voluntarily comply and the decision is not challenged before a court, PlayCity's Legal Support Department will forward the decision to the state enforcement authorities for compulsory enforcement.
The decision entered into force on the date of its adoption and may be appealed before the competent administrative court within three months.
