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

[Mahanton]

I have been reading carefully all the things that each of the members say, and they are very good arguments, they have very good information that they handle.

The boycott of the Russians has been going on for a long time, in sports the boycott was something terrible, but everything that has been done and that demon of Putin is still attacking, I think that that is not the detention measure, it has to be another way.

There’s always another way and one of them is to stop Putin and the parliament that supporting his act. Nothing is working because they still have funds and they are prepared for a long war unlike Ukraine that didn’t see this coming at all. Actually boycotting Russian product and businesses is the best solution to end this quickly if everyone is willing to cooperate but since they have alliances like China which still showing support economically and some people that don’t see the act value, Putin just have a continuous supply with less damage economically since they are still doing business in other country.

It just change the route of there goods but still it being sold and convert into profit. This will never ends unless someone stop Putin or Ukraine will give up the fight. There’s no other way to stop this because this war will no never go that far if there is other way than one of the country wave the white flag.

I think they wouldn't stop the war and no one will surrender. Even sanctions and boycotting don't help because Russia seems to prepare even if the war would take longer. I think the only thing that could help is to stop Putin from intervening and he should advise Ukraine to just quit the fight but I guess that's quite impossible to happen. It seems like Putin likes what is happening since he benefits from this war. It's only heartbreaking that innocent people have to suffer.

It wont be stopped if both countries will really be trying to fight and defend or there wont really be negotiations on making this war to be over.We are still witnessing this war and we dont have any
idea on when it would be stopped and lots of sanctions and other things been applied but still not really that enough on stopping this war.We dont really have any idea on what they are really that
fighting for but one things for sure is that there are lots of economies had been affected by this war considering that Russia is one of the most biggest supply of oil/gas then it is really
that making those effects on surrounding countries as well.Boycotting or something related wont really be enough on stopping this thing.

Anything we can do to stop people from killing others is always a good thing. At present, RF based platforms do have to pay taxes in RF and that means that the money you spend playing on these is money that goes into making more shell that will be killing Ukrainians. I would not want to live thinking that I had that type of responsibility by just trying to have some fun.

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.

Even with all the sanctions in Russia, putin is working with some of his partners to pump more money on Russia economy. This war seems to have ended since Russia had blocked gas pipelines to Europe so that they can remove all the sanctions against them. There is nig need of boycotting gambling platform that we like to play on. Let's go for what we want.

There is a certain concern that has arisen in me in recent days, not only because of the boycott but everything that the problem with Russia has brought, there is now a similar problem but with China and Taiwan, now China is aggressively attacking Tiwan and banning or temporarily boycotting China is something that is not very good, however if we take a look at whether these countries like Russia, China, and the Arab countries turn against the USA and all of NATO, it is likely that not only let's see a big boycott but the drums of war will be imminent and that's not a pleasant thing, I don't know if a whole boycott can lead to that.

The same thing that is happening in Ukraine with the attack of Russia is likely going to show also in Taiwan and China fight where US is already estimated to lose about 800-900 war planes. US being the watchdog of the world as it claims will likely instigate economic restrictions against China as it is happening in Russia and gradually more countries could join. Countries like Australia has close ties with US so likely they might also close shores and trade with China.

however if we take a look at whether these countries like Russia, China, and the Arab countries turn against the USA and all of NATO, it is likely that not only let's see a big boycott but the drums of war will be imminent and that's not a pleasant thing, I don't know if a whole boycott can lead to that.

With the war in Taiwan, we are close to that already if not handled carefully. US is the leading power and soon will begin to introduce sanctions in different organizations and blocs they belong and this will definitely cause a retaliatory sanction too like is happening with Russia.

It is true that giving Russia even a penny now would be an injustice to the people of Ukraine. Their income from gambling websites is low but that money can be spent on running the war which is the main point. Every gambler has their own thoughts and perspective observing the current situation. As a result, increasing the flow of money to Russia for entertainment should not fuel increased oppression of the people of an independent country.

How about Ukraine using up crypto donations on buying weapons?

No matter what angle you are looking both could really be having that influence on prolonging this war and as long one of them
wont surrender this would still continue no matter what.

This is true.

Any country that goes against their way will be sanctioned heavily. I don't know what it looks like really in Russia right now and how their economy is doing.

But basically, if a country goes against them and will have to ally with their enemies, there will be huge consequences for that country and a blow of economic sanction is going to be one of them.

It seems like Putin likes what is happening since he benefits from this war. It's only heartbreaking that innocent people have to suffer.

At this point I think it is pretty safe to say that Putin is prepared to pay any cost in order to get his way, and he doesn't really care about what it may happen to the Russian economy or to the Russian citizens.

And even if Europe is also in a really bad shape due to the sanctions that they have imposed to Russia, at some point they are going to resolve their energy crisis, and they are going to do it without Russia which means they will lose a huge market for their commodities, and even if they can always find other buyers, the price at which they will be able to sell those commodities will be very low, creating an awful effect over the Russian economy for years or even decades to come.

One clear thing is that Russia will not stop intervening in countries close to it to follow Russia and support Russia. Small countries obviously can't fight back and are forced to give their support to Russia. As for Europe, even though they imposed sanctions on Russia, it does not seem to have any effect on Russia because Russia is still seen with sanctions and boycotts from other countries and countries that are not in Europe. I don't really follow the news about the Russo-Ukrainian war and it seems the news is starting to dwindle a lot now but the war hasn't completely stopped.

Anyone can donate to the country according to their choice. People donated crypto to Ukraine to buy weapons, and did so at their own discretion. Now if someone donates to Russia in the same way, that too will be their personal decision. Similarly, boycotting Russian gambling websites should also be taken as a personal decision by gamblers.

Well you do get some point because this is indeed a personal choice on them which they do have the full rights on what they should gonna do with those funds considering that it has been donated then it would really be that just common sense on where those funds would be applied or be used on.

Doesnt matter where those donations would be given, it would still share up on the same intent which it would be used on funding up their needs and supplies for the war.
Boycotting wont really be that giving any effects no matter how its been implied.

If you really read all the way through this thread you spent a whole day just reading comments here.
We are talking about 1000 posts. Please don't be ridiculous, nobody reads through mega threads like that

I don't think that the boycott was something terrible. They deserved it in a way and should expect this to happen. Sports represent the whole country so banning a country from competing is showing the country your middle finger. more than 40k Russian soldiers died at war, somebody has to say something or do something to make them stop enlisting and going to this stupid war.

We have subjective reasons for donating to a particular country without publicizing the purpose because we can assume the pros or cons of favoring one of the countries, so making a donation to any country is a personal decision right, and also for Russian gambling sites because we do not have the right to invite others to boycott Russian gambling sites, because other people have different opinions for Russian gambling platforms.
