Online casino legal?

This question about online casino is topical, and, quite obviously, why – a huge number of people love to play for money in online casino. Someone wins, someone loses, someone lucky, someone – no, but that’s another story. But the desire of many people to play in online casinos is a fact. That is why before starting the game you should find out what the law tells us about this – does it allow the existence of an online casino or not?

Online casino law

Law N 244-FZ is the only federal law that regulates both offline and online casino. According to this law, the government of the Russian Federation is against the establishment and existence of both ordinary (offline) and online casinos. However, there is one “but.” The game hall organized outside the Russian Federation cannot be closed. This is used by many organizers of online casinos. Also in the territory of the Russian Federation there are special gambling zones, where gambling is legal.

Active zones:

• Azov-City;
• Krasnaya Polyana;
• Primorye;
• Siberian Coin;
• Amber;
• Crimea (the project is agreed, is at the stage of implementation).

For all players, it is extremely important: this federal law does not prohibit the game in online casino. Thus, being a player is completely legitimate. However, the organization of such a business is a matter of jurisdiction. Remember that even home gambling in a friendly circle can lead to serious consequences. If the police officers find out about this, the owner of the apartment, in which friendly gatherings took place, can face not only a monetary penalty, but also a term.
