A brand-new Ukrainian casino with a current PlayCity licence - not a stale KRAIL holdover
Visit CatBet →CatBet welcome bonus in Ukraine
Context for Ukraine: If a Ukrainian site tells you it is KRAIL-licensed, that assurance is out of date - the regulator that issued it no longer exists. The Commission for Regulation of Gambling and Lotteries (KRAIL) was formally liquidated by the Cabinet of Ministers on 1 April 2025, after President Zelenskyy moved to dissolve it in January. Two things drove that: the commission had become structurally paralysed, needing five of six members present to hold a hearing while members were serving on the front line, and its head, Ivan Rudyi, was arrested on charges of supporting the operations of Russian online casinos inside Ukraine and remanded without bail. The replacement is PlayCity, a state agency created as KRAIL's legal successor - established as a central executive body in June 2025, inheriting KRAIL's property, rights and obligations, and taking over licence confirmation and new issuance from September 2025. This does not mean existing licences are void: operators have transitioned across, in several cases without suspension. It does mean a KRAIL decision number is a historical fact rather than proof of current standing, so check the operator against PlayCity before you deposit rather than trusting a licence badge in a footer.

Our verdict
CatBet is a brand-new Ukrainian online casino, launched in 2026 by company 4FAN, built around a distinctive cat-themed design with an interactive assistant to help new players find their way around. What makes it genuinely notable given the current state of the Ukrainian market: it holds a current PlayCity licence (Decision No. 72-R, issued 24 March 2026, valid five years) rather than trading on old paperwork from KRAIL, the previous regulator dissolved in March 2025 amid corruption allegations and reported ties to Russian-linked casinos. That distinction matters, and it's independently corroborated across Ukrainian sources. The game library is genuinely large for a new entrant - over 5,000 titles from 47-plus providers including Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Amusnet and Playson. The welcome offer is a UAH 999 verification bonus plus a free-spins package, minimum deposit UAH 200 with a 40x rollover, fairly standard for the market. Withdrawals are accessible from as little as UAH 200, processing within a few minutes to 24 hours. A genuinely well-licensed, well-stocked new Ukrainian casino - its current PlayCity licence, rather than a stale KRAIL one, is the strongest single reason to trust it over some longer-established rivals still catching up on paperwork.
