The regulator oversees the launch of the gambling business, its legalization, licenses market participants and monitors their work. The main mission of the commission is to create a system that will simplify the working conditions in the gambling and lottery sector.
The powers of the collegial body include the development of licensing conditions for conducting gambling business; issuance and revocation of licenses; establishment of requirements for the state system of online monitoring and its administration; consideration of complaints from gamblers and other persons about the actions of gambling operators; submission of proposals to state authorities regarding draft laws and other regulatory documents in the field of gambling; creation of favorable conditions for attracting investments in the gambling sphere, etc.
