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

[Erdogan]

You are right those who want to access the gambling they know how to do it. There are fast VPNs and there are proxy servers. Also the whole EU turned against Russia. And they are all in trouble now – Biden ran to Saudia for Oil and gas supply. And it will bring in another wave of inflation.

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.

Yes, then what conclusion could be drawn, there are members who support the boycott, others do not, others stay there watching how everything develops because they do not want to give their opinion so as not to enter into controversy because it is a very sensitive issue and one that has to be dealt with very subtly and even in a very surgical way, sometimes I think that we do not handle even 30% of what is really happening, I am one of those who do not believe 100% of the information provided by the news, I am one of those who see the Ukrainians asking for help, asking for mercy for their relatives and this really is something that breaks the heart, on the other hand Russia is a country totally controlled by Putin and it is very difficult for them to reveal themselves to him, because whoever reveals himself could easily be sentenced to death, then all this turns out to be very complicated.

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.

well at least this question is Boycotting and not banning mate , meaning this is a question per individual and not for anything , we are being questioned if we will be wanting to take part and not to play in any russian based gambling site so either if you wanted or not? it doesnt stand in general answer.
because it is our decision to make and our ways to take part.

Its personal choice whether you would be supporting or not but somewhat it doesnt really matter at all considering that government of Russian doesnt heavily rely with gambling business revenue and as said that the ones who would be commonly affect by this is to those who owned those businesses and not the government thats why its a little bit useless if they would really be having those boycott decisions.
For some part then its up to you if you do go along with the idea but even lets say 100% would be giving out support but wont really be completely a big deal
and stopping this war.

A boycott for me means fewer jobs for people who are innocent, but it must be remembered that they are at war and as they say out there in war and in love all is fair, those who have a lot of responsibility are the rulers, because I see them very Calm down while the innocent are massacred and that is not convenient for anyone, the children they have killed are increasing, and they are killing the future, this already seems biblical and apocalyptic to me, and the theme of Boincot is too small to what is missing and does generate.

I wish EU has not made that decision. They should have thought about themselves and about the rest of the world - I am sure they are now repenting for not being able to understand what decision they should have made to save Ukraine and the rest of the world.

If a player leaves the game site then I think it's up to the player.  The gambling website that gives the bonus to the players from the game.  I think it is entirely up to the players whether they will take them.  There are some players who use these bonuses and some players who do not use these bonuses.

Gambling sites do not provide any revenue income. If the Russians gambler gambling here there is no problem. I don't think gambling will have any effect on the war. But I have doubts about how these restrictions will be enforced when the war will be overcome. At that moment all the restriction will be removed or will continue? Since Russia is a country with huge natural resources, if restrictions are placed there, the world will never be normal.

Without a doubt it is not a very effective move, after all if the sanctions the European Union have imposed on Russia have not been able to stop Putin from invading Ukraine the chances that a few gamblers avoiding Russian casinos will do so are zero.

But at the same time it is a decision that each one of us has to make, if people do not feel comfortable gambling at a Russian casino then they are free to look for other casinos and obtain their desired entertainment that way.

Bonuses can’t withdraw easily, some site requires a minimum wage in order for you to get that bonuses or else you’ll be tagged as a cheater especially with the bonuses. With regards to this boycott, It doesn't seem an effective way to stop Russia, look even bigger countries didn’t even bother to push Russia to stop the war right now because they can’t and many are suffering for the consequences of this. I don’t think gambling is enough to stop Russia, this is all their plan.

No casino or platforms wouldnt set out specific rules when it comes to bonuses thats why i dont really see much interest on bonuses and promotions considering that wagering requirement is something

that is close to impossible thats why i dont really bother myself on joining up since we know that hitting up the threshold is something that you cant do and ending up always on getting wrekt.

Talking about boycotts then its been a while, we've seen Russia had withstood all of the sanctions and cut-off ties with other countries but still turns out that they dont really care
nor getting affected at all thats why its useless when you do really make acts against on what Russia is been doing as of this moment.

What is one thing of VPN if somebody is being restricted from accessing a particular website or a particular platform from a particular country there is every tendency and every opportunity that they will access the site through VPN where ever they are so disrupting people who is from Russian not access the site or connect with a particular website is not sure because there is a VPN they will apply and also make use of that particular site by inputting another countries name in data through VPN

You mean the sanction shouldn't be applied? I think they know what they are doing better than us because we are not an economist or whatsoever but we are just an average joe. Maybe if they didn't do that, the situation can get more worse. Just think about it and as you can see some people feel that sanctions wasn't enough but they are also planning to boycott everything from Russia including gambling platforms.

@BitcoinAccepted it will only be useless if there are less or no people that will support it. I don't understand why will people on russia use a vpn to play with other country/gambling sites? Gambling sites on their country wont be force to shutdown or do a restriction for their own people/players but a boycott means that people from other countries are not going to support or play in a gambling site that is related to Russia.

[danadc]

Lately I have been seeing that the Russian attacks have been more incessant and that they have not respected any of the agreements, so if they do not comply, because Russia blames Ukraine and Ukraine blames Russia, what do they want to achieve? end the world? I think that the boycott would not do much, it would only end the business of the Russians, but would it fix this war? If the boycott worked to end the war, then let it be, otherwise I don't see any use for it, what do you think?

It is a decision that each person needs to take, when it comes to a business decision we may think that all what matters are the profits but most of the time that is not the case, if you like or feel more identified towards a company then you will prefer to spend your money there than doing so in another company despite having better prices.

This is similar, many people do not agree with the aggressive posture of the Russian government and we also do not have the means to stop the war, so what to do? You can do nothing but some people have elected to show support for Ukrainian products while boycotting those which come from Russia, it is a natural reaction and even if it does not fix anything people are free to take whichever choice they think it is best for them.

[CPNpr]

The way I see if we people around the world started to boycott all kind of digital services (including Casinos) of Russian owners, that would definitely hurt some oligarchs with tight ties with the klemlin and even some politicians and their families as well.

However, we must also not forget that there is common people in Russie normal citizens that do not agree with the politics of Putin but they cannot express themselves due to the fear of retaliations from the state forces. If we could prove that behind a crypto casino there is someone with clear support towards Putin's war, then I'd say there is a good reason to move from that service, on the other hand if we can't get enough evidence of Putin's support, then we should be reluctant to move from the service, because there could be an honest peace loving Russian citizen in charge.

Just my opinion.

If you are not in a very close surrounding to Putin, it is impossible to tell which person support him, and which not. The idea of boycotting was to reduce the amount of taxes collected from casinos. In the same way, every Russian business, that pays income tax must be boycotted. In addition, not only Russian business must be boycotted, but countries they trade with must be boycotted also. In the end it will turn into boycotting each and everyone, because everyone in some way is in a link (maybe by being tenth consignee in business chain for example) with Russian business.

If we notice, but what you will see here is a good point, but what they reported here is that they gave billions of euros for the last few years, but here they show that the government has received billions for it.

Russia is Rising again as now they making their on Lobbies in the other countries as i can see now Russia is making the Central Trade HUB of Wheat/Fuel and Natural resources as more prominent in the Dominance of the wheat holds. Russia is already Capturing the Central Asia and connecting countries but here point is What is gonna impact of the Boycott. Do Russia cares about it. Yeah thats another thing their Casino owner do care.

Maybe Russia doesn't care about that because they seem to have started to control other countries because they have a lot of abundant resources. They are also trying to pressure other countries into doing what they want, which seems to be working because other countries depend on those resources. Casino owners don't seem to care about that either and some are still running their own casinos, regardless of the boycott or not. Although the boycott still continues, it does not impact the casino significantly because they can get more customers from other countries.

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.

HEllo OP - would you still support Ukraine?
After all the trouble coming to the world. Inform of inflation and crisis - I feel sorry for our country - we are not in anyone's war - yet my country paid a heavy price for not following the directions of EU and for staying neutral.

I don't think that is very appropriate, it is obvious that many have moral interests in Ukraine, if you watch the news there are many signs of Russia making attacks, those parts of Ukraine that are most vulnerable, which are with Churches, Shopping Centers, and Hospitals, attack them without mercy, that is a war that has no name, the fact that they want to have a boycott of Russian companies is no longer so important, innocent lives are more important, right?
