Can players in Russia use new online casinos?
Not legally. Only licensed sports betting is allowed online. Offshore casinos that accept Russian players operate outside the law, and sanctions on cards and banks make payments unreliable.

In depth
What the law says
- Federal Law No. 244-FZ, in force since 1 January 2007, limits casinos to gambling zones.
- Online casino games: prohibited.
- Online sports betting: licensed.
- Self-exclusion: through the Unified Gambling Regulator.
Mirror sites
Offshore casinos use mirror domains to get round blocks. A mirror looks identical to the original, which makes phishing copies hard to spot. Never log in through a link you cannot verify.
Payments
International cards and many payment services do not work for Russian accounts, so offshore casinos lean on crypto and intermediaries. Payment routes can disappear overnight.
Questions
New casinos in Russia: questions
Are online casinos legal in Russia?

Why do casinos use mirror sites?
To get round blocking of their main domain. Copies used for phishing look the same, so be careful.
Can I deposit in roubles?
Some offshore casinos accept roubles, mostly through intermediaries or crypto.
Is there self-exclusion in Russia?
Yes, for licensed betting, through the Unified Gambling Regulator.
Responsible gaming
Play only if you are 19+ and it stays fun
These rules apply on every page of this site. A young casino has less history to judge it by, so the limits matter more.
Adults only, everywhere
You must be 19 or older, and older in some countries. A casino can ask for ID before your first withdrawal, and new casinos often do.
Responsible gamingStart small with an unknown casino
Deposit an amount you would accept losing to a failed withdrawal, and request a small cash-out early to see how the casino handles it.
