Russian lawmakers advance bills to tighten gambling advertising rules
Russia’s State Duma Committee on Youth Policy has supported proposals to restrict gambling advertising, according to Andrey Khodykov, executive director of the Center for Combating Gambling Addiction. Khodykov said at least three bills were in development; one, already submitted to the State Duma, would increase penalties for people and companies advertising casinos, including streamers and content creators.
Operators and advertising partners could face tighter restrictions and higher penalties if the proposals become law.
