Would you support a collective boycott of all Russian gambling platforms?

[coin-investor]

I think it's a smarter idea to boycott people who supports the invasion of sovereign countries (these are the dangerous ones), instead of boycotting every russians civilians, because not everyone there agrees with what the government is doing.

About 1xbit and 1xbet specifically, it's not advised for gamblers to play there for another reasons related to the scam accusations against them, and not exactly because they are owned by russians.

I'm on it if a company is being run by a Russian government or its allies and they are funding the Putin administration we should boycott these companies but if it's if the company is independent and its administrators are no known allies of Putin then we should not lay hands on it, right now in the news there's a big panic among Russian because their currency's value the Ruble is now weakening and they cannot use their card that is part SWIFT, because their banks are not accepted anymore, they are making git h ard for the Russians so they will realize and ask the government to stop the aggression.

[Wexnident]

That's like saying to boycott every business that Russian produces. Kinda bad really, I mean, most of the ones that would be really affected by such things aren't the one that caused the war or the ones that favor it (not all), but rather the innocent ones who, well, didn't really have a choice but to be born in Russia. Sure, if the owners were pro war, then I'd boycott them but if not? That's just barking up the wrong tree. It's a huge mistake, especially if we really want to support not just Ukraine, but also the people that were hugely affected when they didn't even want to.

[Obito]

I would support it, if it makes Russia get more money then they will be able to finance their campaign and I want to stop the war as soon as possible and I want to help in any way that I can and that small contribution might lead to something big if you know what I'm saying. On the other hand though, I feel terrible about that decision because I know that the people of Russia will be the one that's going to suffer the most but if we want this war to end quickly then it's our best shot.

Considering the current events in Ukraine and the open aggression from Russia, what are your thoughts on the collective boycott of all Russian gambling platforms in support of Ukraine?

We know that 1xBET and 1xBit are owned by Russians. Do you know any more? Could we make a list of all Russian-owned casinos?

I'd love to support an initiative to help Ukraine! I think it would be great if we all raised our voices together and supported it.

I also want to support Ukraine, the war is a terrible thing and should be ended as soon as possible. It is always the most vulnerable people that are hurting the most. Donating money is one option, another one is giving food and clothes for the refugees in Ukraine, Poland and Romania. Sanctions against the country Russia is a good thing to put pressure on Putin to engage in negotiations with Ukraine and end the war.  Boycotting all things from Russia will hurt ordinary people a lot more that it will the government. It is normal people like us who just happen to live in Russia. I have a few Russian friends and all of them are against the war, nobody supports it. Unfortunately there is a big difference in Russia being against something and protesting openly against it. You are not only at fear to be put in jail, but also to maybe lose your job or benefits from the state. Hurting the big state owned companies through sanctions is the right approach, boycotting everything from Russia is not I think. It's not like the Russian casinos are run by Putin himself.

First of all Putin is committing war crimes and genocide against humanity,all to blame is him and the other politicians who agree with him and the army who is killing their brothers,as no point really in this war.I am sorry for the Russian civilians that are living in misery from now on without Eur,USD,Yen and other world currencies but they are also in part to blame for not standing up against this government of theirs which is bringing them misery.

I never played in a Russian gambling platform before and of course I never will now.

[Synchronice]

The way everyone is sanctioning things in Russia, it seems there are no one living in Russia that the 144.1 million people are not human LOL

Imagine from the point of a Russian Civilian who is not supporting the war in Ukraine, who wants peace dialog and want to see the brotherhood between these two county. But just because he is a Russian now he can not visit an EU county or in a state of America , he can not have assets in these regions, he can not conduct any business at all, his assets are being seized . He has no right in those countries. Or may be he is in any of these countries living for long time. From now on his life will be a harder. The Russian military is killing innocent civilians but the rest of the word is making Russian civilians life a misery.

What are we achieving from this WAR?

PS: This is not an statement in favor of 1xBET and 1xBit . These scammers should not be existed in the first place.

The idea behind sanctions is to show the Russian people how terrible president they have and how he sinks a country deep in crisis and terrible life.
People in US & EU live a comfortable life, they don't want war, no one wants war. These sanctions are a way to awake Russian people to go against their corrupted and criminal government and change them for their own and the whole worlds' welfare.

The way everyone is sanctioning things in Russia, it seems there are no one living in Russia that the 144.1 million people are not human LOL

I want to quote this again!
Are there any better alternatives when man warns us with nuclear weapons? If Russian people think that we shouldn't treat them this way, then they have to change their government and end war! Otherwise, it looks like they support their government!

I agree with this, many people from Russia are against this war and they even protest in Russia even though their lives will be at risk this is decision of Putin and their government and not civilian people. Now both country is suffering, the Russian people that doesn't want war but now their life changes due to the sanction of different countries and civilian people of Ukraine which was living peacefully and was attacked by Russian government. Normal or civilian peoples are the one suffering from this war.

Exactly.And as that saying from the famous author says here below the only one suffering the consequences are the civilians.I think to share the most meaningful statement in my opinion to stop this war.

"The war will end, and leaders will shake hands.
That old woman will keep waiting for her martyred son.
And those children will keep waiting for their hero father.
I don't know who sold our homeland, but I saw who paid the price..."
~ Mahmoud Darwish

A large Russian population can't be criminal,right? Let's just blame Putin, yeah? Well he's a half fucking crazy dictator thats sure... but, have a look at his supporters; It's made up of the old decadent class, the mafia and all its tentacles, the thuggish kleptocracy and the new corrupt oligarchs, and finally the mindless throng of mindless horde massing for another bloody clash of civilizations. These are the people who form your support base, in support of a blood lust, an Orwellian, authoritarian tyrant, who does not care about the rule of law, human rights and is hell bent on spreading his eternal rule over the entirety of Eurasia. I do not think that's a selling point for any kind of business, even in a country like Russia. I'm sorry but if that's your type of country, then  by all means support that wonderful murderous tyrant, without thinking about all the other shit he does to people in Russia.

When you support this guy, not only are you supporting a blood thirsty, totalitarian dictator, but you are also supporting the nuclear threat to the world.

[rodskee]

Supporting this initiative guys because I am anti War advocate , I only support things that will favor silence and peace and not some Dictator that wanted the world fall into their hands .

Businesses from Russia specially gambling businesses will bring them more funds to sustain the war and Boycotting those would be a big help for all of us.

So lets put them In Boycott , please would someone put all gambling sites operated by Russian here in crypto ?

Yes I think he is losing his mind, he said he was threatened by the NATO but it is different from what we see. He said that it was for protection of his country but we can clearly see that he attacked first military facilities and then attacked civilian residence and it is not for protection it was an invasion of a peaceful country. The one will be suffering here are innocent people who doesn't want violence and war and those people just want to live peacefully.

I'm on it if a company is being run by a Russian government or its allies and they are funding the Putin administration we should boycott these companies but if it's if the company is independent and its administrators are no known allies of Putin then we should not lay hands on it, right now in the news there's a big panic among Russian because their currency's value the Ruble is now weakening and they cannot use their card that is part SWIFT, because their banks are not accepted anymore, they are making git h ard for the Russians so they will realize and ask the government to stop the aggression.

That makes sense, if that casino is funding the attack then you have a clear conscience of boycotting them. But we don't know and we don't have any leads if they're doing so.
Most of the news that we get is from the west and anything that comes from Russia is unsure if it's really coming from them or it's already been changed and modified by any source that covers that.

[Pmalek]

You shouldn't play on 1xBit anyways, war or no war because of their track record of scamming people. I would not support anything that goes against innocent Russian citizens who haven't done anything wrong, but are now under sanctions. I would like to emphasize the word innocent. Out of +140 million Russians, the majority don't want this war. They are ashamed, terrified, and don't know what to do. No one asked them if they wanted to invade and kill Ukrainians. Putin, his generals, and his regime do whatever they feel like.

Sanction the regime, the army, and everything and everyone close to Putin. Don't blame the common man.     

[xSkylarx]

I support this type of support because it is similar to showing support to Ukraine, which we can see now that there are a lot of people doing things like donating bitcoin to them to help them with the finances. As gamblers, we could do this, but it still depends because there are gamblers who only depend on those gambling platforms, which leads to them having to switch to a new gambling site, which I am not sure if it is difficult for them, but as my self, I would say that it is not difficult for since i am playing to other websites.

I don't really think it would be a nice idea to boycott the gambling platforms that are owned by Russian people because after all, not every Russian wants war. Perhaps there's only a very small population that wants their country and Ukraine to have a conflict because it either amuses them or the possibility of war happening in a long period of time will benefit them. And with this being said, maybe these people are the elites that won't be hurt as much if we boycott anything related to Russia. I believe we must think of this thoroughly first before coming to a decision because boycotting can affect so many people that are innocent and are also struggling to survive.

Its not really nice knowing that there are innocent people will be hit on this sanction but its one of the best thing to do temporarily since it could make realize the russian government that they are badly hit with those sanctions impose at them and for sure there business sector will badly react towards this implementation.

I will show my support on this and will revoke this decision once we see Russian government and troops stop this war and comeback on their country peacefully

That gambling website has a bad reputation, I'm pretty majority of the members in this forum doesn't use their service anyway.
Now, If we keep on sanctioning Russia, that literally almost everything we put sanctions to Russia, It will be the people of Russia is going to suffer not their leader. So, in that case not only does the Ukrainian suffers but also Russians. Imagine If you're Russian that lived in US or some parts of the world where they put heavy sanctions on Russia. That person might live miserably during this time of war.
I'm not supporting Russia, but I pity those Russian people doesn't want this to happen.
We should also consider in putting selective sanctions that won't heavily affect the lives of innocent people of Russia.

I agree with you but there is no way that they can sanction Putin,his generals and let the common population out of the sanctions,that would not make sense.By putting sanctions to all Russian population,innocent or not they have to stand up for their rights and overthrow Putin and his bloodshed regime.Only Russian population is key to overthrow Putin if they all stand up together and go en mass to protest and I know the law there that who protests is treachery against mother Russia but there is no other way.The civilians are now starting to suffer the consequences and should stand up,they are 144 million or a bit more and it is impossible for Putin or any government to stop the will of the population,how many dictators were overthrown from power because of the civilians,a lot and most of them had in common one thing,they were communists and Putin is acting like one so it is time to stop this crazy son of a bitch.

Blaming the common man in this scenario from Western powers is a necessary evil which should wake up the sleeping Russian civilians which have done nothing to stop this war and they have a lot in hand to stop this madness.

I am not sure where you got that idea. There are many pro-Russian and pro-Kremlin media outlets online. And, of course, there is a massive propaganda machine in Russia to support their view of the world.

Keep in mind, though, there is no such thing as "free media" in Russia. All media is subject to state control.
The Russian federal organization responsible for controlling and censoring the media, Roskomnadzor, recently issued a statement ^[1] instructing the media to "only use information and data received from official Russian sources."

So, if you're already skeptical of Western media, you should be doubly skeptical of any media that is controlled by the same people who created this conflict.

I'll go for the boycott if you are updated on the news you will read and see that many sporting events are banning Russia in their events so why not support the boycott against Russia, so Russians will urge their government to ask strongly to their government that they stop the aggressions against Ukraine if Russians feel the impact of the ban and boycott the government will think of stopping the aggression so far I'm not playing in Russian gambling platform but if I have one I will boycott too.

[Pmalek]

I agree with you but there is no way that they can sanction Putin,his generals and let the common population out of the sanctions...

It would be a very difficult thing to do, I agree.

that would not make sense.

Sanctioning only those who are responsible would make sense, but as said previously, it's an almost impossible task. 

By putting sanctions to all Russian population,innocent or not they have to stand up for their rights and overthrow Putin and his bloodshed regime.Only Russian population is key to overthrow Putin if they all stand up together and go en mass to protest

The West is hoping that the change will come from within and that's the best way to do it. No one wants to wage war against a madman with access to nuclear weapons and such a fragile mind. I think the Russians are still far away from mass protests. They have unfortunately lived under tyranny for way too long, and I am not just talking about the Putin administration. Fear is a powerful tool of control.
