GG.Bet has obtained licences to operate both betting services and online casinos in Ukraine. The esports bookmaker received the licences from the Commission for Regulation of Gambling and Lotteries in Ukraine.
GG.Bet is renowned for its partnerships with esports CS:GO and Dota 2 tournaments, as well as sponsoring esports teams, Navi and Team Vitality.
The company is yet to announce a launch date, but has revealed that ‘operations will be announced soon.’
GG.Bet offers bets on over 30 esports disciplines, as well as bets on traditional and virtual sports.
GG.Bet aims to develop the esports community and promote the principles of responsible betting and online casino gaming.
Alongside its efforts with esports, the company is also planning to promote sport in Ukraine by investing in and implementing sports-related social projects and working with key sporting figures.
A GG.Bet spokesperson said: “Ukraine’s betting market has great potential for development, so for the GG.BET brand to obtain these licences is both an expected and well-thought-out decision. Ukrainian esports stands out thanks to its fanbase and history of tournaments and resounding victories.
“Additionally, we are sure fans of betting on classic sports will also find plenty of attractive offers and exciting experiences. We're offering Ukrainian customers the same excellent betting product and high-quality service that the GG.BET brand provides to customers worldwide.”
In June, the GG.Bet brand began operating in the UK with a licence granted by the Gambling Commission. In the UK market, GG.Bet will offer sports, esports and an online casino.
