Ukraine Telecoms Regulator Orders ISPs to Block 32 Online Gambling Websites
Ukrainian national telecommunications regulator the National Commission for State Regulation of Communications and Informatization (NKRZI) has called on internet service providers to block 32 online gambling websites. The websites include domains for PartyPoker, Pinnacle and CloudBet, as well as FastPay Casino, Yukon Gold, Golden Tiger Casino and BetChain.
The decision, which came at the order of the Chief Investigative Directorate of the Security Service of Ukraine, was based on a judicial decision by Oksana Hardina, judge in the Shevchenkovskiy District Court of Kyiv.
Hardinaâs ruling gave the telecommunications regulator the power to issue blocking orders against websites offering illegal content, including online gambling.
An appeal to the order may be filed to the Kyiv Court of Appeal, within five days of the issuance of the order.
