Uzbekistan’s first licensed bookmaker starts operating more than a year after the sector was legalized

Uzbekistan has now seen its first licensed bookmaker go live, more than a year after the country legalized the sector. For PSPs and acquirers, the key point is simple: a regulated betting market is no longer just a policy paper, it is now producing a licensed operator.

1. The operator is described as the first licensed bookmaker to begin work in Uzbekistan.
2. The launch came more than a year after the betting sector was legalized in the country, which means the regulatory framework has moved from authorization to actual market operation.
3. No further details were provided in the source about the operator’s name, license terms, or payment setup.
