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

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 .

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.

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

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.
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Do not die for Putin


If there is any other way aside from violence, it must be pursued to keep the peace and harmony of the places. However, Putin chose to wage war which has so many consequences. Sure, they do what they deem is right and necessary. But to what extend? I just find it saddening and maddening that they will do everything just to prove they are right even if it's at the expense of the civilians and innocent people.

In reality the This WAR is new way of Making Money for some Countries Name You better Know, Some Countries are using Ukraine as Side Pupet to fight with Russia as they cant Directly attack Due to Russia's Strong Reaction and These countries in back can't afford it.

Reason simple and clear that If they will try to directly involve then it eill not be War of countries it will be War of Blocks China & Russia is already Dominating Asia & Gulf countries by their Allies so Europe has no chance because this time Russia is not alone agaisnt them.

Proof of Side Pupet : Nato Signed a Contract with Ukraine to $25B support in form of Military Equipments, from there you can see thatSome countries want to continue this all situation because $25B are not Funded for their Social Development its for Weapons

Edited: In answer of the Thread Main Question I will Answer that I will used to Always Bycot all the Gambling Platforms as i don't preffer Gambling its Haram in Islamic Economic

There is something that I have always wanted to say and it is that due to religion or favoritism towards a country it is never good to say it, because feelings can be hurt, in any war on both sides there will be deaths, people suffering, and this is something that only they they live, we see everything from a perspective far removed from what each country in question lives, in any war there is a lot of money associated with it, and this is a business model, which had not been activated and apparently is somewhat lucrative, if we attack the economic branches of any country, the only ones who will go wrong are the people, their people, not politicians, much less rulers, they have everything insured, I think this is the reason why I do not support a boycott of any country or Russia , or Ukraine or any other, if nothing else for money there are some who kill, now this is something worse.


Boycotting the RF sites is about stoping the war. There is no war without a great amount of expenses. If a country runs out of funds for war, the war will stop, and that suffering and pain that you talk about will also stop. This is not about "favouritism", it is about stopping a country that, beyond any doubt, has started is actively waging a war against another. Any tax received by RF is a bullet.

It is no secret to anyone that in wars there are unfortunately interests of the big ones, this is because the war between these two countries is generating an immense business model, between leaders of many countries, companies, among others, which seems bad to me is that there are lives that are sacrificed thanks to these interests, and unfortunately the world in general will always move with respect to the best business model they can obtain, although some, let's say in the lowest stratum that I consider "ignorance" under which is easy to do by manipulation, many Ukrainians and Russians die, and what should be stopped here is those deaths, a boycott will not solve it, I think that if the war will drag on, measures should be taken in another way.

One form of human greed is difficult to control.
Now the war continues even though many countries are proposing for peace or condemning this, it seems that it only heats up the atmosphere there because it is like pouring oil into a fire which does make this even more because the countries that interfere also have their own desires and greed regardless of how many lives. who was sacrificed.
Boycotts are now not very useful anymore because we have seen that there are some who have boycotted but the war is still going on and we don't know when it will end.
You are right, I think that at this point a boycott does not have much effect, war has a long-term effect, which is not pleasant, I did not like the way it turned out that a Russian attack did a great deal disaster in a shopping center in Ukraine where many innocent people died, these things are what should not happen, it is well known that this transcended to other powers, where the rulers are the ones who, to fight for them, hold these types of events, For me, any boycott of any kind will not be good, there are always many who will be wrong, they will lose jobs and you will have other unpleasant effects.

then it could really able to sustain which is something that could really patch it up.

They are confident on prolonging this one without any help or even lots of boycotts and sanctions been happening.
Even after lots of sanctions and boycott Russia is able to stand strong alone.
It is not an easy task to defeat Russia, they are strong, Ruthless and have power to defend themselves economically, strategically and politically.
Cutting relationships with Russia is like cutting your life line.

They think they are that strong,the reality is that they defaulted on their debt,they cannot win in Ukraine except temporarily as the new long range weapons delivered in mass from many other countries are ready to go to the front line and defeat them from the temporary occupied territories.Their population is suffering and the suffering will continue for long to come,this all because of one man ego and many indoctrinated people there following what he is saying,Russia has achieved nothing so far except defeating itself economically in quite a big way,its military is losing personnel and military weapons from all times every day,so it would take time for them to rebuild,but it would be difficult because the west has imposed huge sanctions on them in chips and other goods making this recovery impossible.On top of that Putin got exactly the opposite of what he wanted,he wanted Ukraine and neighbors not in NATO,he is going to share a 1300 Km long border with Finland who will join NATO.

Money power is the biggest thing here. It costs a lot of money to run a war, and when a country becomes economically weak, it is forced to end the war. But because many countries are dependent on Russian oil, those countries are buying oil from Russia even after various sanctions. And since Russia is able to sell oil, their money supply is not being cut off. Boycotting gambling websites depends on gamblers making their own decisions. Because if they think that this war in Russia is immoral, they can stand against Russia.
USA thinks Russia is like Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Syra and Pakistan. But they are wrong. Russians have strong defence and they can fight back. Also the weather conditions in Russia are so intense that hardly any country can fight with them. It is the survival of the fittest. The fit one wins. . No One can help other country - but only them.
Just like on what @decodx had been said above which i do fully agree that it might not really be giving that anticipate impact towards those sanctions and cutting off ties sentiments on stopping this war

but at least it do really molds out that kind of impression on which other countries internationally would really be cutting their relation or pulling businesses on Russia due to this war and finding it
to be a bad behavior or action which is something i couldnt really blame them off and if this would really make out some effect but as said as long they are supplying and selling those gas/oil
then it could really able to sustain which is something that could really patch it up.

They are confident on prolonging this one without any help or even lots of boycotts and sanctions been happening.
