LEOVEGAS’ RESPONSIBLE GAMING FRAMEWORK ASSESSED AND REVIEWED BY ECOGRA
LeoVegas’ framework and routines on protection of consumers have been assessed and tested by the industry-leading certification agency eCOGRA to certify that the gaming company’s services are in conformity with the recommendations that the European Commission has published for online gaming. The assessment affirms that LeoVegas’ work is in conformity with all relevant recommendations.
LeoVegas’ framework and routines for ensuring protection of consumers have been assessed by a third party. The independent, industry-leading British agency eCOGRA specialises in testing, certifying, and assessing actors in the gaming sector. During the spring eCOGRA performed tests and conducted interviews to assess that LeoVegas’ gaming services are in conformity with the relevant European Commission’s recommendations (2014/478/EU) on principles for the protection of consumers and players of online gambling services and for the prevention of minors from gambling online. This external assessment shows that LeoVegas is in conformity with all relevant recommendations and that no other remarks have been registered.
“Offering a safe and secure gaming experience and preventing minors from online gambling has always been our top priority,” comments Gustaf Hagman, Group CEO LeoVegas. “It is therefore reassuring that LeoVegas’ work in this area has now been assessed and reviewed by an external, independent party that confirms that we are in conformity with the Commission’s recommendations. But our work doesn’t end here; we will continue the need to develop and raise the bar within the entire industry to ensure that gaming remains an exciting and safe form of entertainment.”
The external assessment of LeoVegas’ responsible gaming framework was conducted on the company’s initiative and is part of the work on evaluating and ensuring a safe gaming experience. The assessment was conducted on top of the local authorities’ regular oversight activities in the various jurisdictions. The assessment covered all of the company’s brands and all markets.

Businesses can now obtain licenses for organising and conducting gambling activities online through the Diia portal, without paper documents or in-person interaction with the state, according to a statement by PlayCity, the state agency regulating Ukraine’s gambling and lottery market.
According to the release, applications can be generated in the Diia electronic cabinet and signed using a qualified electronic signature (QES). Some data will be automatically retrieved from state registries, including information about the company, its owners and beneficiaries.
PlayCity will review submitted applications, and applicants will receive decisions on license issuance or refusal online via Diia.
Companies will be able to apply for licenses covering casino operations, bookmaking, slot machine halls, online poker, as well as B2B services in the gambling sector.
Acting Minister of Digital Transformation Oleksandr Borniakov said on Telegram that the ministry, together with PlayCity, has also prepared amendments to sector-specific legislation aimed at strengthening entry checks for companies in terms of reputation, integrity, ownership structure and absence of ties to the aggressor state.
“Our goal is to create a transparent and controlled market in which digital tools ensure both convenience for businesses and trust in the state,” Borniakov said.
