All-in Global is the #1 language service provider for the iGaming industry. With 12 years of data we believe it’s relevant for our viewers to know how our localization projects are divided. Our staff tend to choose “marketing creative” when it’s not clear how a project should be classified, so this number is often too high in comparison.

THE CHALLENGES OF IGAMING LOCALIZATION IN UKRAINIAN
The Ukrainian gambling market is hot as an Odessa summer since president Volodymyr Zelensky in August 2020 officially signed the bill legalizing gambling in Ukraine. Ukraine is a country with low English proficiency, ranking 49th of 100 countries according to a survey by EF Education First in October 2019, making it essential to localize content into Ukrainian for iGaming brands looking to succeed locally.
But what are the challenges and best practices when it comes to localizing content related to casino, sports betting, poker and slots into Ukrainian? All-in Global is the #1 language service provider for the iGaming industry and we have prepared an overview.
The average Ukrainian word contains 7.2 symbols, while the average English word contains 5.2 symbols. Ukrainian sentences generally contain fewer words – they have no articles and do not use as many prepositions, but they still become longer when you translate them from English to Ukrainian. Example: Paytable – Таблица выплат. This is something to consider when developing your games and websites: make sure you have enough space! This way you can avoid e.g. an awkward splitting of a word on top of a button.
Although all Ukrainians understand, and most of them speak Russian, they have a clear preference towards content in their own language. Over 80% of Ukrainians declare Ukrainian to be their mother tongue. Consequently, not having a Ukrainian translation might be to ignore the preferences of an audience larger than 20 million.
Many Ukrainian iGaming terms have a similar pronunciation with Russian version but a different spelling. Example: Feature (EN) – Функция (RU) – Функція (UA).
Ukrainian words change their endings all the time. Examples are:
Free Spin – Бескоштовне обертання
2 Free Spins – 2 Бескоштовних обертання
5 Free Spins – 5 Бескоштовніх обертань
Some iGaming terms can be both translated and transliterated – Ukrainians who play in online casino are familiar with all the options.
For example, Wild symbol can be translated as Дикий символ or transliterated as Вайлд символ.
This rule also applies to the term “Free Spins” mentioned above. Translation for this term is Бескоштовне обертання or it can be transliterated as Фрі спин. One more option for this term is to combine translation and transliteration – Бескошновний спін.
Term Cluster can be only transliterated – Кластер.

WHY CHOOSE US FOR YOUR UKRAINIAN PROJECT?
Most forms of gambling have been illegal in this Eastern European country since 2009. As with many countries that have an outright ban on all forms of gambling, some online casinos do indeed still accept Ukrainian players with a handful of sites even offering Ukrainian language options.
With slots being the go-to game of choice for many a Ukrainian player with table games closely following – the zeal for iGaming within Ukraine is one which shows no signs of abating.
Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine recently signed bill No. 2285-d regarding “On state regulation of activities related to the organization and conduct of gambling.”
With the Ukrainian government set to legitimize eight forms of gaming, namely; land-based-casinos, retail sports betting, online sports betting, slot halls, online poker, totalizer contracts, lotteries and online casinos, it seems the country is facing a gaming boom, with industry professionals expecting this new regulation to annually generate more than €150 million.

This way, you will avoid pitfalls and the need to rework later, meaning you will experience no delays in getting your global growing going.
