The bill on gambling the most systematic approach to planning, placement and monitoring of the conduct of gambling in Ukraine. This opinion was exclusively for the channel and the UBR site UBR.UA Director-General expressed the law firm of T - III Eugene Losovsky. "This is one of the first laws on gambling, where the most systematic approach to the registered organization, placement and monitoring of the conduct of gambling in Ukraine. I like this document. Under the bill, the company is the operator of the gambling business must have a registered capital of not less than 5 million (as for commercial banks), "- he said. According to experts, this authorized share capital will reduce the number of players on the Ukrainian market of gambling business, and those who remain - will be reliable. "I think that the first phase of the gambling institutions will be fairly small, as 5 million euros - it is a weighty sum. In addition a further 40 million hryvnia will cost you a license to open a gambling business. And then there was need to calculate what your return will the casino, and how quickly pay off the cost. If we orient ourselves to the U.S. experience, I believe that by adopting this law, organizes gambling business, to the period of rapid growth and profitability will be held at least five years. It is this period will show how high profitability this type of business in the territory of Ukraine ", - said Losovsky.

People who are highly susceptible to adverse effects - for children under 18 years old, mentally unstable people, those who are contraindicated for health reasons to play, access to the casino will be complicated. In principle, sufficiently clear and properly regulated order of work, although after the first reading in Parliament, it can be changed. But the foundation is made quite correctly, "- said Losovsky. Recall that in the Verkhovna Rada was filed the bill on gambling. " The author of the document - MP from the BYuT faction Serhiy Osyka.
