Russian lawmakers advance bill to cut illegal casino blocking approvals to 48 hours
Russia’s State Duma approved a bill at first reading this week proposing a faster process for blocking illegal gambling websites, according to media reports. The proposal would reduce approval times from around five days to 48 hours; Deputy committee chairman Sergei Altukhov said lawmakers aim to complete the draft before a second reading.
A shorter approval period could change how quickly agencies restrict access to illegal gambling sites in Russia.
