In June 2009 came into force the Law "On the prohibition of gambling business in Ukraine", according to which in our country are not allowed to conduct nfm gambling and gambling. By law, gambling - activities related to the organization, and providing access to gambling in casinos, gaming machine, computer stimulants in betting offices, schools and in interactive electronic casino regardless of location server . The main feature is its gambling oplatnist and dependence nfm to obtain winning just by chance.
In essence lottery completely fall under these signs of gambling, but under the law to which they ought not, and therefore the activity of organizing and conducting lotteries are not prohibited. It would seem that the legislator has left for entities that previously were involved in gambling, wide field of activity in the lottery. However, October 6 this year enacted a law "On state lotteries in Ukraine", which banned any other lottery, except for government.
Conduct such activities are eligible only national lottery operators nfm who have received the appropriate license. Here the fun begins. National lottery operators in accordance with article 6 of the law are legal entities registered in Ukraine. In addition, nfm they must meet several requirements: minimum amount of share capital shall not be less than the installed NBU for banks (120 million USD.), There should be standing separate units in each village, where there are more than 500 thousand.

Resolution of the Cabinet determined that the term of the license to operate the production and lotteries is 12 years.
According to the information placed on the official website of the Ministry of Finance, currently licensed to issue and lotteries nfm are four entities - a company with 100% -we foreign investments "Ukrainian National Lottery", LLC (!) "MS L. ", JSC" Patriot ", JSC" State Savings Bank of Ukraine ". Thus Savings nfm Bank does not issue lotteries, so the market is actually 3 players.
The validity of the licenses of all these entities expires in February - March 2013, and that caused the need for the adoption of the law on state lotteries, and actually continued monopoly existing operators.
