Alphabet Inc., which owns the Google brand, has officially permitted the publication of promotional materials from certified Ukrainian gaming operators across all its platforms.

The clearance follows years of diligent efforts by the national regulator and industry organisations like the UGC. Negotiations with the technology giant commenced in 2021.

All the agreements focused on banning unauthorised suppliers in search results, social networks, and mobile app stores. This process ultimately led to Google’s resolution to permit advertising starting July 14th, 2025. The ruling coincided with the launch of a new regulatory authority, PlayCity.
Thanks to effective restructuring and support from state law enforcement agencies, the local authority now possesses many instruments to combat the shadow segment and bolster the legal one.
Official advertising through Google services presents a valuable opportunity to boost the popularity of certified entertainment portals. Furthermore, this initiative has the potential to make the country’s industry more appealing to international investors. It is projected that new promotional channels could increase the market’s profitability by 15–20% within the next 18 months.
The spokeswoman emphasised that advertising legal gambling on Google is an effective strategy to combat illicit operators. This enables the regulator to promptly block banners and similar materials from offshore brands, thereby raising public awareness and safety.
The growth and development of Ukraine’s gambling sector serve as a long-term incentive for job creation. For example, many individuals can get positions in marketing, IT, customer support, and other related areas.
