Lottery.com, a leading online platform to play the lottery online or from a mobile device, continues its international expansion and has announced that it has entered into an MOU for cooperation with MSL, a Ukrainian state lottery operator, to offer select Lottery.com products in the Ukraine. This announcement comes on the heels of the Company reaffirming its intent to sign a definitive agreement for a business combination with Trident Acquisitions Corp. by mid-February 2021. Select products from the Company will be available both physically and electronically, when approved by Ukrainian legislation, and will be in accordance with current and upcoming compliance requirements of the Ukrainian legislation on lotteries.

This agreement will make MSL the exclusive distributor of select Lottery.com products in the Ukraine. Ukraine has a population of about 45 million people, with an estimated gambling market of approximately one billion euros (€1,000,000,000 EUR).
“MSL is an expert and leader in the lottery space in Ukraine. We are grateful to be partnered with such an established powerhouse in the lottery and gaming industry and very excited to expand into the Eastern European market,” said Tony DiMatteo, Chief Executive Officer of Lottery.com.

Compliance Updates
Ukrainian Gambling Regulator Rolls Out Digital Complaints Platform
The Ukrainian gambling regulator, PlayCity, has rolled out a new digital complaints platform that’s intended to streamline how the public can report illegal gambling advertisements. The complaints form is now live in the “For Citizens” section of PlayCity’s website, giving Ukrainian citizens a direct channel to help monitor and curb illegal gambling advertising.
The system enables citizens to flag suspected violations across multiple formats, including social media, websites, television, radio, outdoor billboards and other public spaces. Users submitting a complaint must identify the platform type, provide a direct link to the advertisement and attach supporting evidence such as screenshots or video clips.
The system is designed to automatically archive submissions and capture ephemeral content like social media “stories” so regulators can review material even after it disappears. PlayCity staff will screen each complaint to assess whether the content breaches Ukraine’s advertising rules.
If violations are confirmed, the regulator can request removal of content from platforms such as Meta, Google, TikTok, YouTube, Viber and Twitch. PlayCity said it could also seek to block social media accounts that repeatedly share unlawful gambling promotions, fine responsible parties or escalate cases to law enforcement when identities cannot be verified.
The statutory fine for illegal gambling advertising stands at cca. €100,900.
The new enforcement framework stems from Law No.9526d, the same legislation that abolished the previous gambling regulator KRAIL.
