According to NEXT.io, the National Police of Ukraine (NPU) recently stormed Original Spirit, a live casino studio.

According to an unidentified insider who was involved in the setup, the live casino studio will be sold to an Asian-based B2B gaming supplier in 2021.

This came after the studio was established in 2020, with a live dealer solutions firm situated in Malta.

Ukrainian police raided the studio earlier this month, accusing it of carrying out unlawful gambling and providing false information on its license application. 

The photos taken from Original Spirit’s website appear to match those provided by the police, with the identical layout, tables, and decorations.

Stills from Original Spirit’s YouTube channel also reveal the control room space as captured by the NPU.

According to sources, during the studio’s setup, they were instructed not to take too many images to avoid potential violations of Ukrainian law.

They went on to say that in addition to B2B live casinos, the company was also delivering B2C gaming straight to customers. 

According to Original Spirit, the Ukrainian gaming authority KRAIL issued a licence to Original Spirit UA in November 2021.

According to the authorities: “Police officers, with the support of the special unit of the Patrol Police Department, conducted a search at the actual location of the premises in the city of Dnipro, from which access to gambling was provided.

“More than 120 persons were found in multiple enormous gaming halls offering online casino activities. More than 60 gaming tables and roulettes, decks of cards and dice, servers, computer equipment, and other evidence of unlawful activities were confiscated.” 

According to the police, Ukraine’s president issued personal penalties against the co-owner and chairman of the board of the studio’s parent company.

NEXT.io contacted both Original Spirit and those believed to be its Asia-based proprietors, but received no response by their deadline.
