Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the gaming industry, has donated €21,000 to a project backed by The Metropolis Philanthropic Foundation, a leading NGO in Romania.

The donation will be used for the rehabilitation of the 7^th floor of the Clinical Institute Fundeni, which is dedicated to the children’s oncology section.

The Metropolis Philanthropic Foundation was founded in 2007 and focuses on the protection of children who have been separated from their parents and assist with their integration into society. In recent years, the foundation’s efforts have been on helping public hospitals renovate sections that are dedicated to children.

Pragmatic Play has extended its commitment to assisting charitable initiatives, after donating to numerous causes in Malta, contributing to Women for Women on International Women’s Day and playing a key role in the refurbishment of a sports pitch for Prior Park School in Gibraltar, among other.

Julian Jarvis, CEO of Pragmatic Play, said: “Supporting great causes is something we believe we can all do more with, and we’re very fortunate to be in a position to support those that aim to make a real difference to our wider society.

“The Metropolis Philanthropic Foundation makes a huge difference for children in need and we’re happy to assist with our donation.”

Ramona Predie, Head of HR at Pragmatic Play, said: “As we move into 2021 and facing the global pandemic context, CSR is definitely vital for the wellbeing of our society. We, Pragmatic Play, felt that it was imperative to join the project at Fundeni Hospital initiated by Metropolis Foundation in order to drive change and have minimal lasting influence from this perspective.

“By way of our donation, the hospital will meet some of the critical needs they face. Pragmatic Play remains firmly committed to support these institutions that provide an indispensable service to the surrounding communities. If we join forces, we can deliver incredible and significant, long-term achievements towards our fight to help the medical system.

“We are striving to ensure basic health needs of the local Romanian community and we are grateful that we can be part of this amazing change.”

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.
