Russia restricts gambling to designated special zones (Krasnodar, Altai, Kaliningrad, Primorye) and permits online sports betting through licensed bookmakers. Online casino games are prohibited for Russian operators. Roskomnadzor (media regulator) maintains a registry of blocked gambling sites, and ISPs are required to restrict access. Cryptocurrency regulation in Russia has evolved rapidly, with crypto mining legalized in 2024 but gambling remaining in a grey area. Offshore crypto casinos widely accept Russian players, and enforcement against individual users is not prioritized.
