Russia’s Finance Ministry considers legalising online casinos
Russia’s Finance Ministry is considering whether to legalise online casinos as a response to unauthorised gambling online, deputy financial policy department director Aleksandr Khristoforov said at a meeting in the Civic Chamber. The discussion also included a proposal to increase sanctions on influencers and public figures who advertise unlicensed gambling operators.
A legalisation proposal could change the rules for online casino operators if authorities take it forward.
