Income from gambling market legalization in 2021 will amount to UAH 5 billion, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
“What has existed in the shadows for years, now with the first licenses, should bring UAH 5 billion to the budget already next year,” Zelensky said from the rostrum of the Verkhovna Rada on Tuesday, October 20.
The draft state budget for 2021 does not contain a forecast of income from the sale of the first licenses in the gambling market. The state budget for 2020 assumed income of UAH 4 billion from gambling legalization.
