Abstract

The article deals with the form of public governance of gambling in Ukraine from 2020 – the state monopoly on the organization and conduct of gambling. Based on the generalizations of the world's existing forms of public management of gambling, it was concluded that the state monopoly is the most successful model of public administration for our state. But the form of its implementation (a kind of state monopoly) is manifested, considering the historical development of our country, the peculiarities of its society, the tendency of the population to form gambling addiction, society's attitude to gambling, forms of government and more. Today, Ukraine is introducing a second type of state monopoly – free access to the gambling market for companies (subject to organizational and qualification requirements), while limiting the maximum number of gambling establishments that can operate simultaneously in the country. At the same time, in the future it is possible to combine this type with special territorial gambling zones (the Cabinet of Ministers has the right to determine no more than five of them on the territory of the state). Based on the study, the author offers to improve national legislation on gambling taxation and to introduce the idea of social utility of public gambling management for the full implementation of Ukraine's chosen model of state monopoly. Keywords: gambling business, organization and conduct of gambling, state monopoly, special gambling zones, gambling establishments
