Russian Market - any question

[TTR]

Hi, i was top affiliate on russian market and still doing this shit)

So, if someone - have any question about this market - i can answer and help


Now, the biggest problem - is RKN, special force structure in goverment, whose control and restrict all internet pages.

For example, every links for casino in russia are blocked! Every casino, who wants to attract players - must do a mirror every 1-2 weeks

All website about casino are also in block, even search engines didn't show results for blocked sited...

And its not the end.

A lot of bank and payments system block deposit and cashout to gambling sites...


So now, affilaite in russia - it's like nightmare

Thanks TTR for the overview. How is gambling regulated there specifically? Can players in Russia play in abroad licensed casinos freely (long as they find something that isn't blocked by RKN), and if so, which abroad licenses are good for the market? Is there some state-owned gambling monopoly?

We don't have gambling license and regulation for casino (only for Betting). Goverment just tryied to block all casino web-sites and we do a lot of mirrors (some casinos making mirrors everyday). Also some payments systems does not allow to deposit to casino, for example most of the Banks declined transaction to online casino and casino should make "tricks" to accept payments, like vouchers etd. But most of the players - keep playing, they are using VPN

Polish market is banned as well? I think it is not so hard, got some Polish players, and it does not look as they are limited somehow.

Sounds like VPNs and crypto are the way to go. I guess you would target Russian players assuming they are all using a VPN already to even find your site. Would Google be a common SE for a Russian player on a VPN to use, or is there another popular SE that wouldn't filter out online gambling results?


Just curious, are VPN service websites also commonly blocked? What about crypto to fiat exchanges?
