Ukraine’s regulator fines gorilla.ua operator $9,7 thousand for using software from unlicensed suppliers

Ukraine’s gambling regulator has fined the operator behind gorilla.ua $9,7 thousand after finding that it used software from suppliers without licences. For high-risk operators and their PSPs, the point is simple: supplier due diligence is not just a procurement task; it is part of the licensing and payment-risk picture.

1. The fine was imposed by Ukraine’s regulator on the operator of gorilla.ua, and the amount was $9,7 thousand.
2. The stated reason was the use of software from suppliers that did not hold licences. That matters because, in high-risk setups, the supplier chain can become a compliance issue on the operator side and a risk flag on the PSP side.
3. No further details were provided in the source about the suppliers involved, the specific software in question, or any additional regulatory action beyond the fine.
