Casinos in Russia: 2026 guide
Online casinos are prohibited in this country. This page is informational: no operators or links to them are shown.
Regulation
Online casinos are prohibited in Russia: organising and running internet gambling is illegal, and access to infringing sites is blocked by Roskomnadzor through the register of banned resources. Land-based casinos are allowed only in four gambling zones — Krasnaya Polyana (Sochi), Primorye, Sibirskaya Moneta (Altai) and Yantarnaya (Kaliningrad region). Sports betting is legal and handled by bookmakers through the Unified Gambling Regulator and the single payment hub (TsUPIS). Illegal gambling operation carries both administrative and criminal liability. Winnings are formally subject to personal income tax, and at licensed venues the tax is withheld at source. This material is informational only and is not an encouragement to gamble.
