Ukraine’s Rada Fast-Tracks Gambling Readings
Mirroring European counterparts, The Ukrainian parliament (Rada) has had to make drastic changes to combat the impacts of COVID-19, impacting its legislative tools and timetables.
Rada’s position is further weakened in the face of a backlog of legislative readings as President Volodymyr Zelensky ordered a sweeping senior cabinet reshuffle in March, having fallen out with powerful First Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk.
Nevertheless, the SoP Party of Zelensky retained its 2020 timetable to finalise provisions attached to Bill-2285D and restore supervised gambling to Ukraine by the end of the year.
At the end of January, the last reading of Bill-2285D “Gambling Act” was conducted, as MPs reviewed much-criticised tax draft amid unsatisfactory counter amendments.
Silence was cast on the progress of the bill until this week, when Danylo Hetmantsev, Head of the Finance Committee of Rada, said in an interview that a Parliamentary Committee should fast-track the readings of gambling legislation.
Hetmantsev emphasised that the actions of the committee did not support Bill-2285D being approved in law. Instead, the minister stressed that the Bill had been swamped by more than 3500 amendments submitted to its draft legislation to establish the federal gambling system for Ukraine.
Hetmantsev, President Zelensky’s chief economic advisor, expressed optimism that SoP would finalise Gambling Law legislation by the end of the year, holding a crucial pledge to revitalise Ukraine’s economy and industry.

Dutch Regulator KSA Warns Operators Over “Early Payout” Feature
The Dutch Gambling Regulator (KSA) has contacted several online sports betting providers regarding incomplete information about the “early payout” feature. The “early payout” feature allows a bet to be considered won before the match has officially ended. This feature is not available in the event of a draw. The KSA found that several providers failed to communicate this sufficiently, making it appear as if players could also use this option for draws.
Early payout
The Early Payout feature allows players to declare their bet a winner if their team has a two-goal lead during the match, regardless of the final result. The odds for Early Payout bets are lower than those for regular bets. The problem arises when this option appears to be offered for draw bets, as there is no team with a lead.
Unclear information leads to confusion
Providers also promote lower odds for draws under the “early payout” feature. The providers’ terms and conditions then state that early payouts are not possible for draws, but this isn’t always clearly communicated when placing the bet. This creates confusion among players, who may assume that early payouts also apply to draws.
Obligation to provide clear information
Providers are required to provide clear and understandable information about the possible outcomes of a bet, including the associated terms and conditions. The KSA determined that providers were not complying with this obligation when providing information about the “early payout” feature. Providers that offer this feature have been contacted and have improved their communication so that players are now more clearly informed about the limitations of early payout for bets on draws.
