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

[ScamViruS]

What has Russia achieved,absolutely nothing beside total destruction of its economy so far.The sanctions are already working,Russia is becoming weaker each day so the boycott is functioning perfectly.

That is a very long thread and still open.
I believe if the whole EU ban and USA sanctions have not been able to affect Russian decision then surely they are not bothered with people decision over the banning there sites. I think if the sites are offering some promotions and bonuses one should grab the opportunity.

Boycotting any site is a personal choice of any player. So if any website gives bonus, offer then it depends on the player to take it or not. It is true that many sanctions have been imposed on Russia, but European countries are buying energy from Russia. As a result, Russia has no shortage of money. War will not stop when money power of a country cannot be cut. So boycotting Russian gambling websites may do little financial damage to Russia, but their other financial sectors are much bigger.

Have you heard about recent articles about 1xBet?
Russian company has an Ukrainian license and journalists claim the main reason to be there is to collect gamblers' personal data.

Aside from having huge reserves they are also one of the biggest supply when it comes to oil/petrol which european country do really need up which simply means that they could really able to sustain for too long specially on the war which is still currently happenin.We dont know on when it would be ending up but boycotting gambling platforms wont really be enough on stopping or cutting off the supply or funding the war.

Indeed this is also a personal choice  whether players would be supporting for showing off some sympathy to Ukraine but there's something we can do even if we wanted for this war to be stopped at least
doing these small things.

Lots of sanctions had been imposed but turns out that Russia doesnt really care at all since they could able to sustain no matter how many cut-off ties situations
that been thrown out.

Russia is taking their steps very aggressively this time, which was beyond everyone's thinking. When the war started, everyone thought it would be possible to stop Russian aggression with some sanctions, but in reality that was not possible. There are many Russian gambling websites that are popular and generating a lot of revenue. But those gambling websites are owned by the common people, so if the players boycott those websites, the common people will lose.

Therefore, it has become very difficult for the world to stop this aggression of Russia, because Europe is somehow dependent on Russia. Since Europe is heavily dependent on Russia, boycotting gambling websites will not reduce their money flow.

This might be outdated but its true that it was run by a common people and they are the ones who would be greatly affected if it would be boycotted out
and lets see on this one https://igamingbusiness.com/russia-considers-new-10-online-sports-betting-tax/
they are charging or getting 10% tax on sports betting  although this is already old and i dont know if its implemented but having that big tax percentage
then i could say that they can really get some significant amount from this industry.

Definitely not OP. Politics should not affect gambling no matter what, same with sports.

Yes, I agree. Politics should not influence sports competitions. But, it's a bit too late for that, don't you think? Wherever there is money involved, there is politics.

They get a good amount of earnings from the gambling industry. But their main earning sectors are huge, compared to that it will be considered very little. Russia has built a strong position in world politics with oil and gas, so sanctions on them will not be effective enough to stop the war. In recent times, Russia has sold oil to India at huge discounts. So Russia is using their money earning sectors very precisely and they are getting success. So even if the earnings they get from gambling stops, there will not be a problem with their money power.

If we boycott all services that originate from Russia, including gambling platforms and other services spread on the Internet, this will certainly have an impact on the Russian economy as a whole and thus on the course of the war at a further level. But is this step really correct? First, because as it is known, these platforms are run by citizens who may not necessarily support the war or have a position on it at all, and all their fault is that they were born to find themselves citizens of a colonial country called Russia. Secondly, this step may negatively affect us users, especially if we boycott platforms that have proven their reliability over the years of their service, so we will be subject to fraud from other parties during the change process. As for the platforms mentioned in the first post, if they are fraudulent, it is better to boycott them, whether they belong to Russia or Ukraine .

At the end all of this comes down to voting with our wallets, while the effects of doing such a thing are very small and can hardly be felt by the Russian government if people want to boycott Russian products and services they can do so if they want.

The issue is that you will hardly find anything that is made at Russia and that it is exported to other countries, in fact I tried to think about anything which I ever had which could have been made at Russia and the only thing which came to my mind was some vodka I bought a few years ago.

It had already influenced many sports and different organizations had expressed their support for Ukraine and had to remove those athletes and players on their own professional careers that supports Russia as if they support the war.

Wherever there is money involved, there is politics.

True and it's everywhere. Politics from sports, the actual politics, work/office as in everywhere.

According to official information from Wikipedia, the casinos listed in the OP are neither Russian nor Ukrainian, but registered in Cyprus.

As for the boycott of Russian casinos or any Russian business, the point is to reduce the Russian tax revenues, because that are taxes that fund this war. When Russia runs out of money for war, less people will be killed. The goal of the boycott is for Russia to stop a war in which thousands of people are dying, and that is the most important thing.

i am currently thinking if we all boycott all gambling sites or other sites from russia but it turns out that the owners of these sites are not citizens who fully agree with the war being carried out and the owners of these sites have to provide for their families, will we also be that bad? i think boycotting gambling sites is not the right decision because gambling owners don't necessarily support the war to happen. as far as i know, many russians don't agree with the war, but they can't go against putin's decision.
and for gambling sites 1xBET and 1xBit, whether it's russian or not, but i wasn't there. it's not that i support the russian boycott but i'm just afraid that the allegations of the gambling scam have not been resolved

Casino owners are citizens, so they also oppose government decisions but they don't have the power to oppose government policies. I also agree, blocking sites from Russia is not the right solution because it has nothing to do with the conditions of the Russia vs Ukraine war, I'm not talking about 1xBet or 1xBit because they have received bad trust from scam activities.

They don't like what's happening on their country to so its not fair for them to be included on this collective boycotting. Maybe some people think that this could hurt the government but if we think about humanity we can say that joining to boycott their businesses will not do anything good to us or to anyone. For 1xbit? people should boycott that casino because the numbers of accusation is enough for them to tell that they are not good casino.

The idea is clear. But would it really work even if we boycotted all services run by Russian citizens? You must have noticed how the economic sanctions against those who carried them rebounded, causing the price of the euro to fall to a record level and Europe to enter into an energy crisis on all levels. We are talking about Russia, my friend, not any other country.
On the other hand, what is the fault of those citizens who own the companies that will be boycotted, because this will cause misery to employees in all sectors related to these services, including citizens who are not from Russia and may be Ukrainians in origin.

How would the boycott help with the war?

[swogerino]

How would the boycott help with the war?

It would not help much if only Russian gambling platforms are boycotted.What will help it will be the complete full isolation from the civilized world of the Russian country.The fact that Putin agreed to meet with the Iranian government officials it shows how much isolated Putin is.If the world can continue like this to exclude Russia from almost everything and also intensifying this while doing so soon the Russian people will see how backward they have become and how limited in resources they will be,I mean technical resources and not natural ones and will mostly ask for the fall of the Putin regime.There is no other solution for the true carriers of such isolation which is the Russian population.

[BitcoinAccepted]

Boycotting is useless. And how do you want to achieve that technically? If you are going to block everyone in Russia, then people will just use a VPN connection from another country and they will still have access to another gambling site. You gain nothing with that. You'd better think about how things are going to get organized again when the war is over. That will probably be in a few months. I also haven't read anywhere that gambling sites have banned Russian players.

Yes, I agree. Politics should not influence sports competitions. But, it's a bit too late for that, don't you think? Wherever there is money involved, there is politics.

Politics is already into sports and competition that is why there is sanctions on Russia sport players not allowing them to participate in the international sports and activities that will be profitable to the Russian federation. We don't need to bring the world politics into sport but what we are seeing now is the reverse of everything we are talking about. Let the politicians carry there political agenda on there head and nit bring it here.

I mentioned it already at some many forums that that these bans and sanctions are not going to help anyway.
and now you can see Biden rushing to the Saudi Arabia for the oil and gas help.
Russia is standing tall and all the EU countries are in trouble because of the sanctions they have made on Russia
