Over the past year, the number of individuals with gambling addiction in Ukraine has tripled. Currently, the Gamblers' Register lists 12,807 Ukrainians.

This information was reported by "Opendatabot".

Last year, the Register was updated with 9,389 new entries, while 1,496 individuals were removed due to the expiration of their restriction period.

According to "Opendatabot", since its inception, the Register has included 14,979 individuals, of which 2,172 have already been removed.

It is noted that 99% of all entries in the Register are voluntary applications. Individuals submit requests for self-restriction to temporarily block their access to gambling establishments and participation in games of chance. The restriction period ranges from six months to three years.

Meanwhile, only 1% are individuals whose access has been restricted by the decision of the KRAIL. Over the entire existence of the register, there have been 169 such decisions, almost all of which occurred last year.

Last year, an average of 780 individuals were added to the register each month – 2.8 times more than in 2023, when approximately 280 individuals were added monthly. The highest number of self-restriction applications was received in April – 1,041, while the lowest was in June – 524.

In the first two months of 2025, 1,719 individuals have already been added to the Register, averaging 860 per month – a 10% increase compared to 2024.

"Opendatabot" emphasized that currently there is no clear statistics on the actual number of citizens with gambling addiction in Ukraine, and the figures from the relevant register do not reflect the complete picture – particularly regarding online casino players.
