An aerial view of the Dnipro Hotel in central Kyiv on Nov. 30, 2020. Ukraine’s gambling and lottery commission has reportedly denied a casino license to Kyiv’s central Dnipro Hotel over paperwork issues. This hasn’t deterred Alexander Kokhanovskyy, the esport entrepreneur who owns the hotel, to continue his efforts to take part in the newly legal industry.

A member and acting head of Ukraine’s Gambling and Lottery Regulatory Commission was arrested on suspicion of receiving a $90,000 bribe to grant gambling licenses, the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office reported on Aug. 20.

While the suspect wasn’t identified, Ukrainian news outlet Ukrainska Pravda stated it is likely to be Yevhen Hetman, a current member and former head of the commission.
