Will Russia follow the US with an online gambling ban?

[Arik3]

Hi,

There's a lot of buzz about the situation in Russia regarding online gambling... actually its been going on for some time now, but lately there's a talk about blocking the payments using banks and online payment processors....

what's your call about this situation?

DO SHARE.

Since 2009 most real casinos are closed in Russia.

Only at exclave of Kaliningrad, the city of Azov to the south, the Siberian Altai region and the Vladivostok region near the border with North Korea and Japan the Russian people have a chance to play, thousands of kilometers away from Moscow.

Putin says, gambling addiction is worse than alcoholism in Russia.

O.k.?!

Hard to believe. 

Anyway, I am sure, the flawless democrat will find a way to stop also online gambling. He takes care of his subjects.

It's funny how Putin likes to say things with no sense and think that everyone will buy this crap 

Russia is the worst country for online casinos operators, I'm also sure it'll be stopped one way or another...

What do you mean it's the worst country? Like it's hard to get licensing or like they shouldn't be trusted?

[georgie]

I think the worst for licensing

Hmm I don't have an idea but it will be too bad for those who are fond of playing at casinos offline. If they will do online casino games, people in Russia can use a VPN program before logging in to play so that their IP address could be changed into a different one. Like an IP address in the US. That way, the system will recognize the user as someone from the US... 

I am not sure if this will work but I am using a VPN program in watching TV series because some sites don't allow other countries to view their shows.

[Guest NotAChicken]

VPN and you'll be good

This is more about Russian politic

They really get used to control everybody and everything in their country and worsted of this is just the one reason to do this staff - is control all money which rolling in country. The top of Russian politic's stay on their position to still everything what they see)

I was there one year ago, it was a good experience to understand what is going on there.

I think it's will be going worse and worse, and they'll be blocked all platforms which stay there in legal way. Promise me they have legal gambling for this moment, but this is about corruption)

So in Russian will remain just illegal platforms in few years and of course it'll be distrustful offer)

Russia regularly bans all sorts of things but how much they enforce those bans is another matter altogether.

[Player12]

I think yes, and it will be quite soon
