Ranking of new online casinos in Ukraine based on the PlayCity register: who received a license in 2025–2026, which newcomers have already passed our tests and whose licenses have already been terminated.
New online casinos in Ukraine appear through regulator decisions, not through advertising. Since September 2025, the state agency PlayCity has adopted 13 decisions to issue online casino licenses. Two of these licenses have already been terminated, and one more decision has been declared invalid, so “new” does not yet mean “stable”.
The CasinoWiki team checked every decision against the regulator’s documents and split new casinos in Ukraine into two groups. The ranking includes brands that have passed our tests: registration, verification, deposit and withdrawal. The rest are listed in a table of fresh licenses with facts from the decisions and no scores until we check them.
The scores are taken from our full reviews and calculated using the weights of our methodology. A new license earns no bonus points: new online casinos in Ukraine are rated on the same scale as operators with many years of history.
New Casinos in Ukraine: Who Is Built for What
The three new online casinos in Ukraine in our ranking share one trait, a fresh PlayCity license, but they are aimed at different players.
First Casino: for Fast Payouts
The brand has been on the market since 2020, but it received its current license for a new legal entity, LLC “Forst Element”: PlayCity Decision No. 31-R of February 9, 2026, valid until February 23, 2031. In our tests, First showed the fastest payout among the casinos we checked and the fastest support, at 43 seconds.
Bonus: up to 250,000 ₴ and 1300 free spins, x35 wagering on the bonus amount only
Payout: 3 h 38 min in our test
Minimum payment: from 50 ₴, from 100 ₴ for most bonuses
Weak spot: deposits are unavailable until KYC is complete; manual verification took 2 h 41 min
Slots City: for a Large Catalog
Slots City operates under the license of LLC “Oll Siti Heims” (Decision No. 137-R of October 29, 2025) on the slotcity.ua domain. In July 2026 the brand received another license, for LLC “Heimsiti” and the slotcity.com.ua domain (Decision No. 274-R of July 20, 2026). Its catalog of over 6000 games is the second largest after SuperGra.
Bonus: up to 500,000 ₴ and 700 free spins, x35 wagering
Games: over 6000, live tables from 2 ₴ to 25,000 ₴
Apps: Android and iOS
Weak spot: a withdrawal request cancels unwagered bonuses, and the cashier is mostly limited to cards
CatBet: for Cashback with No Wagering
The youngest brand in the ranking: the license of LLC “4Fan” was issued on March 24, 2026 under Decision No. 72-R of March 18, 2026, and the website is catbet.com.ua. Its main advantage is up to 20% cashback in real money with no wagering, and verification via Diia took 11 minutes in our test.
Bonus: up to 500,000 ₴ and 700 free spins
Payout: 5 h 46 min in our test
Verification: via Diia in 11 minutes
Weak spot: no native app, and only 72 hours to activate and wager the bonus
Just Licensed
These new online casinos in Ukraine received a PlayCity license recently, and we have not yet run the full test cycle on them. So below you will find only facts from the regulator’s decisions: the legal entity, the decision number and date, and the domain. There are no bonuses or scores here on purpose: we do not copy terms from operator advertising without checking them.
New Casinos 2026: PlayCity Licenses
BETKINGS: licensed on October 29, 2026, betkings.com.ua
Legal entities behind the newcomers: BETKINGS is LLC “Krauntek”, PINGWIN is LLC “Pinhvin Plei”, ChampionCasino is LLC “Limon”, 777UA is LLC “Bridzhpoint”, VBET is LLC “Vbet Ukraina” (Decision No. 183-R), and National Cup is LLC “UNL Heims”.
Do not confuse BETKINGS with BETKING: these are different brands and different legal entities. VBET is known as a bookmaker; its 2026 license covers the casino specifically, and you can read about its betting in our VBET review. After testing, each of these new online casinos in Ukraine will get a full review and a score, and this page will be updated.
Whose Licenses Are Already Terminated
A fresh license does not guarantee that a new online casino in Ukraine will stay on the market. In recent months, PlayCity has terminated several licenses issued only very recently:
Cosmolot (LLC “Speisyks”): license issued by Decision No. 11-R of 14.01.2026, terminated by Decision No. 139-R of 22.04.2026
BETKING (LLC “Slots Yu.Ei.”): casino license issued by Decision No. 82-R of 25.03.2026, terminated by Decision No. 456-R of 27.10.2026
LLC “Oll Siti Heims”: the repeat Decision No. 221-R of 05.06.2026 was declared invalid (Decision No. 244-R); the main 2025 license remains valid
So before depositing at any new online casino in Ukraine, check not only that it has a license but also that the license is still valid.
How to Check a New Online Casino in Ukraine
The legal entity, not the brand. The website footer must show the LLC name and the decision number. Search PlayCity documents for the legal entity itself: one trademark can hold several licenses, as Slots City does.
Decisions on issue and on termination. Check that there is no later decision terminating the license or declaring it invalid.
The domain. A license is tied to a specific domain in the UA zone. A mirror with a different address is no longer a licensed website.
Verification via Diia or BankID. A legal operator is required to identify the player, so a new online casino with a Ukrainian license does not work without KYC.
Age 21+ and self-exclusion. Licensed casinos are connected to the state register of restrictions, and a self-exclusion request applies on all legal websites.
Pros and Risks of Newcomers
New online casinos in Ukraine usually enter the market with aggressive welcome packages: in our ranking, that means up to 500,000 ₴ and 700 free spins. But a big bonus means big turnover, and a short wagering period, such as 72 hours at CatBet, puts it out of reach for most players.
Pros: a modern interface, verification via Diia, generous launch promotions, support that is not yet overloaded
Risks: a short track record, fewer payout reviews, the risk of license termination in the first months of operation
No deposit bonuses: the new casinos in our ranking do not offer them; welcome packages apply only after the first deposit
If a proven history matters more to you than a fresh license, compare new online casinos in Ukraine with the overall ranking of licensed casinos.
FAQ
Which new casinos in Ukraine opened in 2026?
According to PlayCity decisions, in 2026 online casino licenses went to First, CatBet, VBET, Slots City (a second license), 777UA, ChampionCasino, PINGWIN and BETKINGS. The Cosmolot and BETKING licenses issued earlier in the year have already been terminated.
Is it safe to play at new online casinos in Ukraine?
If the operator holds a valid PlayCity license, the player is protected just as with long-established brands: verification, the state self-exclusion register and the option to complain to the regulator. The risk with a newcomer is a short track record and the chance that its license will be terminated.
Do new online casinos in Ukraine offer a no deposit bonus?
Not the new casinos in our ranking. The welcome packages of First, Slots City and CatBet apply only after the first deposit, and we are still checking the terms of brands with fresh licenses.
How do I find out whether a new casino's license has been terminated?
Find the operator's legal entity in PlayCity's administrative documents and check whether a later decision terminating the license or declaring it invalid followed the decision to issue it.
Why are some new casinos missing from the ranking?
Only brands that have passed our tests make it into the ranking. BETKINGS, PINGWIN, 777UA, ChampionCasino, VBET and National Cup are listed for now with facts from the regulator's decisions and will get a score after checking.
