Hello fellow colleagues!
So actually you are right. there is now a ban to gambling in Russia.
It is prohibited to organise gambling including means of internet.
Basically what does it mean:
All land based casinos shall be moved to special areas, so called “gambling zones”. There is also a requirement to gambling places like minimum amount of machines (tables) per 800 square meters of gambling place. The minimum amount of holdings of a casino is to be 600 mln roubles (1 usd = 26.25 rubles).
Anyway there is now strict restriction to bookmaking.
At the same time all online casinos registered in Russia are now out of law.
What does the same mean… it means that many small casinos will leave the market and big resources will move from Russia.
At the same time law does not prohibit players from gambling online.
