The Association of Ukrainian Gambling Operators (AUGO) has officially launched in Ukraine, positioning itself as an independent, self-regulating organization uniting the country's leading licensed operators. "The priority of the association, which unites legal ('white market') operators, is to ensure transparent and fair business practices, block illegal Russian online casinos in Ukraine, and jointly launch new industry standards for gambling operations with the state agency PlayCity," AUGO stated in a press release on Monday.
