2. Mr. Zotko emphasizes eliminating the gray market and the importance of an effective dialog between industry players and regulators.
3. Zotko brought extensive experience in various gambling companies to PIN-UP Ukraine.
4. In addition to his work in the gambling industry, Zotko launched a successful financial service called Yedynyy Prostir, which provides seamless payment solutions.
5. Even in disinformation attacks, Zotko defends his business's integrity and social responsibility.
