Casino gambling is allowed only in land-based casinos in five designated zones and is not allowed online at all. Bookmaking, meanwhile, is allowed outside of the designated zones. Bookmakers may operate online only through the 'Interactive Bet' and TSUPIS systems.
Following the legislative reforms that have taken place in Russia since 2006, the legal gambling markets currently consist of three sectors: state lotteries, casino and EGM operations in gambling zones, and bookmakers that operate both online and offline. All other online gambling remains prohibited.
