What a player risks
Online casino gambling is prohibited in this market; no operator is licensed to offer it. A site that takes players from this market does so without any local licence, whatever licence it holds elsewhere: its players have no local-regulator protection or dispute resolution, and deposits, payments or winnings may be blocked or confiscated. Depending on local law, playing may itself be an offence and may lead to fines or prosecution. The register records for Russia: Illegal: blocking of sites (Roskomnadzor/FNS), blocking of payments.
