Viktor Romaniuk, people’s Deputy of Ukraine, member of the parliamentary faction of the party “People’s Front”. Along with another speaker of the Ukrainian Gaming Congress, Gennady Krivosheya, is also the initiator of the draft law on state control and legal aspects of gambling activities in the country http://ukrainegaming.com.ua/en/ .

As part of the Ukrainian Gaming Congress, the official will speak about the details of the draft law, which is under discussion, will note the main aspects of regulation in the regulatory legal document. In addition, conference participants will be able to find out at what stage is the adoption of the bill and who is involved in its development, in addition to the already well-known officials and members of relevant organizations.

What should expect companies and operators interested in entering the gaming market of Ukraine?

RotoTracker, the Daily Fantasy Sports results tracker and analysis tool, launches out of Beta Testing in time for the start of the NFL. Launched in June 2015 in response to growing player demand, RotoTracker fills a gap in the market for players looking to improve their game. It now launches with 3 payment tiers, in addition to a free tier.

“RotoTracker  has been met with a great response  since we launched in June” comments RotoTracker Lead Developer, Nick Jones. “Our Beta testers have been amazing in providing us with feedback so that we have been able to improve the product in time for the NFL season and I am so excited to see the site go properly live for the first time.”

Key features of RotoTracker include easy upload capabilities, graphs, opponent analysis, plus dozens of filters and reports to help players understand where they can improve their DFS game and strategy. Major DFS operators such as FanDuel  DraftKings & DraftDay allow players to export their raw data so that they can analyze their results. But short of importing the data into a spreadsheet format, there’s been nothing on the market that helps players understand their performance – until now.

Mike Gentile, RotoTracker Co-founder & online gaming industry veteran, roundsup: “The inspiration behind RotoTracker came from years of playing online poker and fantasy sports. Studying games, opponents and most importantly my profits and losses over time has always been my approach. After playing DFS, I was struck by the lack of any bankroll tracking tools on the market. RotoTracker will give DFS players an edge, allowing them to keep track of multiple games, bets and opponents on a daily basis.”
