Topic: Would you support a collective boycott of all Russian gambling platforms? - page 38. (Read 6232 times)

If it were a gambling site in Russia, maybe they would move their hosting from Russia to another country that wasn't involved in the war. But since the gambling sites are on the internet and are not located somewhere in Russia, they will be easier to move. Yes, it could be that the terms changed on that site because they didn't want to get into trouble.

But even though many businesses are shutting down in Russia, it looks like Russia can still survive because they still have resources at their disposal. Maybe this will create disturbances in other things that can happen considering that Russia has some resources sent to other countries such as oil and so on.

So it seems that businesses are themselves closing their terms with the Russians. Restaurants, Visa/Mastercard, Swift and lot of other companies are quitting their services in Russia. I wonder if there is any announcement by the gambling sites to stop there services for Russians. If the war continues and is prolonged, we may see gambling sites updating their term of services and adding Russia in their prohibited countries list.

Everyone should do their part in making Putin and the Russian regime that the world is not taking this lightly, in fact, giant companies are making sacrifices in their revenues like what Mcdonald is doing right now

McDonald’s To Temporarily Close 850 Stores in Russia

this is a huge amount of money that they are going to lose but their CEO stated they cannot ignore the needlesss human suffering, even if gambling has little effect at lwast the industry has a contribution.

 

Indeed, its Putin against Ukraine and the world need an economic warfare to stop Putin. The sanctions have reduced the value of top Russian companies. The world is making a step to stop Putin but, its not enough. When countries stop buying oil from Russian Government the country will fill a huge downsize of their economy.

Placing sanctions on Gambling sites in this forum will have little or no effect on the Russian online gaming niche.

What choice do we have to somehow slow down the much dominant Russia on this war? If it means we have to boycott all Russian gambling platforms, then so be it to feel that there's always a consequences for any actions. I consider the war mostly as Putin's war and not Russia's war that's why to end this mess, put a pressure to Putin as a head of the state.

Generally, from what i see, here in the forum, there's only a few Russian-based gambling here so there's no impact or difference if we have to boycott or not those gambling platforms based on Russia since in the first place, we are not really used on betting on those.

Some times it cross on my mind on why such things create a huge effect on the economy while Middle east is also an option if we talk about oil supply, maybe there are global players play this and manipulate the current situation just to increase the price of the oil. Hopefully we can see the price of oil get back to normal after the war ends since this is really one of the biggest reason why the price of basic commodity rise up.

Totally relevant on rising up prices because they are worlds  leading natural gas exporter and also oil exporter and producer.

So it isnt surprising that this current war did really make out some effects and this would even gotten worse as this war would continue.

Not just these two countries are affected by their war but we also affected due to delay of foods exported and imported in our different countries and like you said some prices will roll up like here in my country Philippines, gasoline and many daily needs was marked up, last 4 days and if this war will continued in a few months for sure many country will be affected.

That's a good one. All wars are political, sometimes with a degree of fundamentalism.


What balance? There was no balance of power since Ukraine gave up nukes.


You talk like it's Ukraine's fault. Countries have the right to join any alliances they want.

I support all bans that are coming in Russia's direction. Maybe this will finally wake these people up.

That's a little bit funny, if I understand what you mean you call for a boycott of the gambling site you are promoting in your signature and your avatar? But why don't you start by removing them yourself? It's contradictory. If you believe in the relevance of your speech, you will wear a signature supporting Ukraine instead.

It seems to me that Putin lost not only Ukraine with his short-sighted policy, here he was just counting on a quick decision based on incorrect incoming data, however, he had what he wanted to believe, he should not have done it, at least for reasons of creating an impression about the state of his army, which everyone now saw.

As for the boycott of Russian gambling platforms, I think with my desire for isolation, a collective boycott may not be necessary, although it is possible that they will be included in the sanctions lists in the near future, or anyone can create a petition for a boycott of Russian gaming platforms.

This war is highly political, if you study International diplomacy you will understand that there have already been uneven grounds and discussion, l have been ongoing before now e.g Russia warning Ukraine, I still remember when Russia make the first speech regarding they decision to attack Ukraine some months back but nobody takes it seriously until the invasion started. Failure from both countries to have a balance of power discussion led to tension between the two countries, Ukraine was looking up to NATO but failed to know that in the international community every body has their territory and alliances and this determines their involvement in any situation around members countries. Ukraine was not a member of NATO before the invasion so it will take time to follow processes to become a member before NATO can involve directly in the war. As it is there is no sign of that Membership happening any time soon

Do you have any proof that suggests that the USA actually forced Ukraine to acquire military weapons? If not, this is a dumb statement. Ukraine clearly wanted to gain more power through NATO which is one of the primary reasons why Putin lost it.

At the end of the day, innocent Ukraine citizens and Russian citizens are the ones who suffer the most thanks to these power hungry politicians.

Boycotts of this type can hardly cause suffering in the true sense of the word. As the Ukraine facing a human tragedy, maintaining the illusion of normality is going to be a tough sell. Russia's leaders are ignoring the wave of sanctions, and the economy of the country will be devastated if it doesn't alter its course. But how much will average Russians really feel the effects of boycotts by losing the freedom to travel, enjoy music and concerts or not be able to participate in world sports competitions?

The boycotts are a campaign of "soft terror" designed to make life harder for middle class and wealthier Russians. And they may be effective in making these Russians turn their backs on Putin and his policies. But this is unlikely to mean much for the majority of average Russians, and certainly will not be enough to cause them to turn away from him. Putin remains in power because, despite his unpopularity, there is enough support in Russia for his tough approach to the crisis, including the war in Ukraine.

That's true I am not even familiar with other Russian gambling sites but I think the community only wants to support to boycott Russian gambling site but I think we can show support in other terms such as in donation to help people from Ukraine that wants to migrate to neighboring countries. I think simple donations would make a good impact, I see Bitcasino has a donation run where they double the donation of the donator and I think that is a good one.

ya.ya.yo!

Honestly speaking, you have a point. With the number of Russian casino operating, and many players gamble on their site, starting a boycott campaign won’t ensure that these casinos would feel a significant impact with the act especially that Russian people are naturally supporting them. However, regardless of such opposing circumstances, I really look up to those participating with the act since it is a symbolism of their desire for peace, unity and equality for all against the inhumane acts of Russian government.

Are there a lot of Russian gambling platforms, that everyone wants to boycott? Those who want to do it, do you even gamble there? Or you just want to boycott something you dont use? Funny. I think mostly Russians are the only one who gamble there. Maybe someone from neighbour countries use them. But not many people abroad Russia, gamble there.  There are so many gambling platforms nowadays, than no one will even noticed that part of them are being under boycott.

This is what I'm pertaining to. If we were to boycott everything related with Russia, not only in gambling industry to take the initiative, but in general, innocent people would be affected as well. Hence, we should really think twice is doing it if we intend and plan to do so, because the impact won't be directed to those who are in favor of war, but also to those people who are against it and just want peace and unity. People in Russia have expressed their stance against their president's decision in invading and bombing Ukraine. In fact, people even gather to make a protest, taking their chance to be heard by the authorities. Right now, there are a lot of sanctions given to them which impacts the innocent ones as well. The sanction applies to everyone. With this, those who belong to the middle and lower bracket would be likely be affected the most compared to those elites that have stored their wealth in most forms, preparing for this to happen.

I believe most of the Russian citizens don't want war because what they even gain from it? Only those who are greedy and those people who are in line with the things related to war are celebrating while majority are suffering. It would be so hard for the business owner if that the rate would decrease, most especially if there would be totally none playing on their business. It would really take a toll on them especially those who only relies from it as their main source of income. Even the most known gambling site can fall too. Let's think again before deciding to avoid further damages to those who don't deserve to be persecuted.

That is temporarily sanction for government to notice about their bad decision made since if there economy will suffer for sure it will reach to their people until to other branch of governments then they protest about this since this hurt them badly. For sure many think about that since its crazy to see if your economy got crumpled and for sure it will reach unto the leaders head about this situation.

If they are licensed gambling site, of course they are paying taxes and where do taxes go? To government and what will the government do with the tax? Use it for war and besides licensed or regulated gambling platforms has the highest taxes in the world if I am correct. So whether the owner is in favor of war or not it doesn't matter.
