Online gambling is not licensed and is subject to technical blocking; payments for the benefit of foreign operators are suppressed.
For the organization and participation in illegal games, fines and other measures of responsibility are provided.
Gambling advertising is not allowed.
Regulatory focus - prevention of social risks, protection of minors and control of payment transactions; there is no separate industry licensing system for commercial gambling.
