Introduction to Responsible Gaming in Ukraine
Ukraine is taking significant steps to implement responsible gaming practices, with the support of FAVBET. The initiative aims to help Ukraine adopt practices that have proven to be effective in Europe. This project involves working visits to EU member states to exchange experience and knowledge in the field of responsible gaming.
Identifying Benchmark Countries
Ukrainian specialists have identified countries that can serve as a benchmark for responsible gaming practices. These countries include Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Czech Republic, France, Sweden, Denmark, Romania, and Croatia. The goal is to learn from their experiences and implement similar solutions in Ukraine.
Establishing Connections and Cooperation
Connections are being established with local regulators, responsible gaming centers, and medical institutions in these countries. The Responsible Gaming Center (RGC) has sent letters and cooperation proposals to foreign experts, with the aim of gaining as much as possible from this experience. This cooperation is expected to bring maximum benefit to Ukraine’s responsible gaming efforts.
Upcoming Working Visits and Events
The research group plans to make its first working visits to Lithuania in the autumn and to Sweden in November. Additionally, the RGC will participate in the international SBC Summit Lisbon 2025, which will take place in the Portuguese capital from September 16 to 18, 2025. Ukrainian state structures will also be part of the expert groups joining these visits.
Goals and Objectives of the Project
The main goal of the project is to develop a nationwide program to combat gambling addiction. The plan covers several areas, including changes in legislation, launching new services, developing a support network, and training specialists. FAVBET is supporting RGC’s efforts in implementing international responsible gaming practices and approaches that prioritize player care.
Support from FAVBET
FAVBET has been a key supporter of RGC’s efforts, having become the main patron of the first national study of gambling addiction and a comprehensive project for the implementation of social services. The state standard approved within this initiative is now being successfully applied at the “Prostir Zhyttia” center, where support is provided to players with manifestations of ludomania and their families.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Ukraine’s efforts to implement responsible gaming practices are underway, with the support of FAVBET. The project aims to develop a nationwide program to combat gambling addiction and improve the level of safety in the gambling sector. By learning from European countries and establishing cooperation with foreign experts, Ukraine is taking significant steps towards creating a more responsible and safe gaming environment. This initiative is expected to have a positive impact on the lives of players and their families, and to contribute to the development of a more sustainable and responsible gaming industry in Ukraine.
