In the first quarter of 2025, the gambling sector in Ukraine contributed 5.4 billion UAH to the state budget in tax payments, which is 20.4% higher than the same period in 2024.

This was reported by the chairman of the Finance Committee of the Verkhovna Rada, Danilo Hetmantsev.

"This figure is 143 times greater than the level of January-March 2021 (37.7 million UAH)", he noted.

According to his data, in January 2025, the budget received 735 million UAH, in February – 1.52 billion UAH, and in March – 3.13 billion UAH.

He also mentioned that the turnover using RRO/PRRO in the first two months of 2025 reached 8.5 billion UAH, exceeding the level of January-February 2024 (0.5 billion UAH) by 18.5 times.

"The introduction of mandatory RRO/PRRO for the gambling business at the end of last year has significantly contributed to the legalization of the sector", Hetmantsev emphasized.

Reminder:

The Cabinet of Ministers established a state agency called "PlayCity", which will implement state policy in the field of organizing and conducting gambling and lottery activities.
