Ivan Rudoy. CRAIL opposed 1xBet affiliates in Ukraine: a comprehensive investigation continues – media RF, writes Apostrophe.
This information was given by RBC-Ukraine with a reference to Ivan Rudy, the head of CRAI, in an interview with Forbes.
“My stance: there should be no indication of a Russian connection in Ukraine. The first thing I did after returning from the Armed Forces of Ukraine (where Rudoy served until November 2022) was to meet with the SBU. We are now working very effectively with nearly all organizers (of gambling),” he said.
According to him, after the controversy surrounding the licenses issued in March 2022 to the Russian bookmaker 1xBet, all other gambling organizers who received licenses were sent letters by CRAIL warning them about any ties with the aggressor state. As for the companies whose ties with the Russian Federation were reported by the media, Rudoy says that the SBU, the Bureau of Economic Security and the State Financial Monitoring Service are working on them. And the decision of the commission will not be long in coming,” Rudoy assured.
Ivan Rudoy. CRAIL opposed the subsidiaries of 1xBet in Ukraine:
We are discussing a number of companies that have obtained a license to conduct gambling in Ukraine but are suspected of being associated with 1xBet or other Russian companies, the newspaper reports. This includes the PointLoto online casino, which was initially named Melbet LLC when it got the license – it is also the bookmaker officially operating in Russia, owned by the Russian Melofon LLC, and previously by the company called 1XStavka, which is a “clone” of 1xBet, with official permission to operate in Russia. Suspicion was raised regarding Play Fun Investment LLC, which received a license in January 2022 to operate the Fan Sport online casino, having an almost identical site design, the same odds, and a common “risk player” (a company that analyzes odds) with 1xBet. “Fan Sport” doesn't operate on the site for which it has been issued a Ukrainian license, but conducts gambling on a third-party site. Ukr Game Technology LLC has a Russian connection, as it is licensed by CRAIL to operate the Pin-Up online casino in 2021. Both Russian citizens and Belarus residents can register and play on the Ukrainian Pin-Up website.
Your betting company LLC, which brought 1xBet to the Ukrainian market, attempted to regain its licenses in the Kyiv District Administrative Court. The head of CRAIL hopes that TSK LLC loses in court: “Because we understand what kind of people they are… I would be interested to see a judge who will say that we, the SBU, BEB, made a mistake (in the decision to cancel the licenses) of a company associated with the Russian Federation).
The Russian bookmaker 1xBet attempted, even before the court decision, to reclaim the license to operate in Ukraine, but the judge denied this.
