PlayCity terminates six BGG machine licences over UAH 87,228.68 debt

Ukraine's PlayCity on 4 November 2026 terminated six gaming-machine licences held by BGG Technologies Ukraine LLC after the company failed to pay annual licence fees for more than two months. Decision No. 466-R took effect on 5 November and covers machines with production numbers 224493, 224496, EU0001091, 224494, 224495 and EU0001098.

The decision orders BGG to pay UAH 87,228.68 in licence-fee arrears within 30 calendar days of 4 November. PlayCity calculated the debt for each day of activity, proportionally to the relevant annual licence fee. The decision describes the amount as arrears, not as a separate fine.

Latest step after BGG’s hall-licence termination

The action follows PlayCity's Decision No. 459-R of 29 October, which terminated BGG's licence to organise and conduct gambling in slot-machine halls after the company refused an authorised inspection. The latest decision expressly takes that earlier termination into account, but concerns the separate machine licences issued under KRAIL Decision No. 284 of 18 September 2023.

PlayCity also considered BGG's application to terminate a licence, submitted on 28 October, and written explanations dated 29 October and 3 November. The agency relied on the Gambling Act, the Administrative Procedure Act and the licensing conditions for gambling in slot-machine halls, approved by Cabinet Resolution No. 1341.

The licence records must be updated on the next working day after the termination takes effect. PlayCity's licensing department must notify BGG within three working days, and the decision must be published on the agency's website within five working days.

Payment and appeal rights

BGG may challenge the decision in the administrative court with territorial jurisdiction under Article 25(1) of Ukraine's Code of Administrative Procedure. The appeal period is six months from the date the decision is brought to the company's attention.

The termination adds to PlayCity's recent enforcement against machine operators. On 26 October, the agency terminated specified licences held by Favbet Game Slots, while its 12 October decision imposed financial sanctions on SLOTS U.EI following an unscheduled off-site inspection.

BGG's 30-calendar-day period to pay the UAH 87,228.68 arrears is now running from 4 November; the six-month court challenge period starts when the decision is notified.
