A new bill aimed at regulating iGaming advertising in Russia has been scheduled for its first reading in October 2026. This follows previous discussions about imposing hefty fines for hidden advertising of casinos and bookmakers.
Last year, we reported on the government's intentions to crack down on covert promotions within the gambling sector. The latest update indicates that the legislative process is moving forward, albeit with a significant wait ahead.
As the date approaches, stakeholders in the iGaming industry will be closely monitoring developments, as this bill could have substantial implications for advertising practices in Russia.
