Another step towards banning online casinos in Russia has been made

The State Duma adopted in the first reading the draft law submitted by the president “On state regulation of the organization and conduct of gambling games”. It affects, in particular, online casinos. Thus, the ban on “organizing and conducting gambling using information and telecommunications networks, including the Internet,” is being supported. It is expected that a number of restrictions approved by the document will come into force on July 1, 2007.
