Russian policymaker proposes blocks on illegal casino sites and crypto payments
Yevgeny Masharov, a member of Russia’s Civic Chamber commission on public bills and regulations, proposed blocking access to illegal gambling websites and applications and restricting cryptocurrency payments. He said Roskomnadzor could enforce app blocks, with Rosfinmonitoring and the Central Bank helping address crypto payments; no adopted measures were reported.
The proposals could affect access to illegal gambling services and payment channels if authorities adopt them.
