“On October 3, we will have a hearing of the head of the Bureau of Economic Security at the committee, even for two: during a joint meeting of our committee (on issues of finance, tax and customs policy, – ed.) and law enforcement. During the meeting, we will also ask about this (1xBet, – ed.)”, Zheleznyak said.
The People’s Deputy emphasized that the NAZK, BEB, SBU and KRAIL should deal with the issue of the operation of a bookmaker company with Russian roots in Ukraine.
“If the ownership of any company in Ukraine by Russians is confirmed, then this property must now be transferred to the state under the management of ARMA and then either sold or, if it is monetary assets, confiscated by the state. And here there is no difference whether it is a betting company or any other. The approach should be the same,” stressed the first deputy chairman of the parliamentary committee on finance, tax and customs policy.
Context
The Gambling and Lotteries Regulatory Commission has currently found no reason to initiate sanctions against the 1xBet bookmaker, despite its Russian roots .
At the same time, people’s representatives are already calling for sanctions on the bookmaker and nationalization of its assets.
Earlier, athletes , military personnel and public figures called to deal with 1xBet .
However, despite the cancellation of the license, all 1xBet mirror sites are still available to Ukrainian players: you can place bets on them, play online casinos and games, and the company was never sanctioned.
