UGC Calls for Global Teamwork to Stop Illegal Gambling

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

The Ukrainian Gambling Council (UGC) has called for a united, tech-based plan to tackle the worldwide increase in illegal online betting.

Viktoriya Zakrevskaya, UGC’s Deputy Chair, said the quick growth of digital platforms has led to more unlicensed operators. These operators often use cryptocurrencies and social media to avoid getting caught and to attract users.

Illegal operators now make up a big part of the $618.7 billion global iGaming market expected by the end of 2025. These platforms often register offshore, use anonymous payments and market online, making it harder to enforce laws against them.

Zakrevskaya pointed out that nations across the globe are trying out solutions that mix rules, tech and people’s involvement. Argentina, for example, has put in place tough age-checking systems and stops blacklisted websites on public Wi-Fi networks. This method, she explained, has made illegal sites harder to reach for at-risk groups such as kids.

In Indonesia, where betting is outlawed, officials have started watching money flows to cut off unlawful activity. Just last year, they froze 26,000 bank and e-wallet accounts tied to illegal betting operations, showing how focused money controls can limit unregulated gambling.

The US struggles with a unique problem because of its scattered rules. Unlawful betting websites are growing almost twice as fast as legal ones in the US. Over 80% of users see ads for unlicensed sites. People are now trying to tighten control on digital money and push big tech companies to better manage gambling content.

Ukraine has stepped up its crackdown. The country’s new watchdog PlayCity, which started after KRAIL was shut down, is teaming up with global tech firms like Meta to take down social media accounts that promote illegal casinos. The government has also blocked more than a hundred unlicensed sites thought to be sending money to Russia. Kyiv thinks Moscow uses the underground gambling world to fund its ongoing war.

A crucial element of Ukraine’s long-term plan involves creating a system to monitor bets and tax income in real time with transparency. The Ministry of Digital Transformation is working with tech experts to construct the platform, which should enhance supervision and boost public confidence in the regulated market.

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has released Don Juan Peppers, a fiery new slot that blends bold bonus features with festive flair.

Set in a sun-soaked Mexican town bursting with colour, rhythm and celebration, the game invites players to join the charismatic Don Juan himself for a lively fiesta across 20 fixed paylines.

The action centres around two types of bonus symbols. Landing three Chili Bonus icons on reels two, three and four triggers seven Free Spins. During Free Spins, each appearance of a Chili Bonus symbol awards an Instant Chili Prize corresponding to the value shown above its reel.

Meanwhile, landing six or more Bonus symbols activates the bonus game. In this mode, all Bonus and Chili icons lock in place and reset the spin counter to three. Chilis in this round boost the value of up to four Bonus symbols before transforming and continuing the chase for bigger wins.

The bonus game also gives players a shot at four fixed jackpots: MINI, MEGA, SUPER, and the GRAND prize of 3,000x the bet. For players who want to skip straight to the fiesta, a Bonus Buy feature offers direct access to either the Bonus Game or Free Spins.

Don Juan Peppers is the latest release in Evoplay’s growing portfolio of standout slots, blending engaging gameplay with vibrant storytelling and proven features.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: Don Juan Peppers is a celebration of bold design and dynamic mechanics. By blending familiar bonus features with a distinctive aesthetic and rhythmic theme, we’ve created a slot that feels both familiar and fresh.

“It’s a fantastic showcase of our approach to delivering high-performing content with real personality.”

SPRIBE, the studio behind the legendary crash game, Aviator, has shaken hands on yet another explosive brand ambassador deal, this time with social media content creator and UFC interviewer, Nina Drama.

Nina is widely regarded as the most popular UFC and MMA media influencer in the world, known for her bold tone of voice and no-holds-barred creative style.

She regularly creates UFC and MMA-focused content, interviewing superstar fighters such as Merab Dvalishvili and Alex Pereira (who are also Aviator ambassadors) in her unique style. This has seen her amass over 14 million followers across her social media platforms.

As an Aviator brand ambassador, Nina (real name, Nina-Marie Daniele) will create and run several campaigns to promote the game to her audience.

The partnership really is the perfect fit, with Nina’s fanbase mostly falling into the same Millennial and Gen Z cohorts that engage with Aviator, which sees more than 50 million people a month strap in and take flight to see if they can land the biggest win multiplier.

It also aligns with SPRIBE’s multi-year, multi-million-dollar marketing partnership with the UFC, which sees the Aviator logo and branding appear inside the famous octagon at Fight Night and PPV events.

 

Giorgi Tsutskiridze, CCO at SPRIBE, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Nina Drama to our growing roster of brand ambassador partners, and to be able to directly engage with her large and loyal fan base through some truly unique creative campaigns.

Nina has captivated audiences with her sharp humor, confident charm, and unfiltered interview style — a perfect match for the high-energy world of Aviator.

“We are really excited about the campaigns we will be launching with Nina – they will hit different, for sure, but we expect them to have a strong impact and introduce even more people to the thrills and spills the Aviator provides.”

 

Nina Drama, social media influencer and Aviator ambassador, added: “Playing Aviator is so much fun and I know my audience will love it too! UFC stars Merab Dvalishvili and Alex are also ambassadors and I know together we will make fun, relatable and viral content while also promoting Aviator!”
