The President of Russia has signed a federal law that eliminates the direct transfer of bookmaker winnings to players’ bank cards. The legislation officially removes the previous requirement for licensed betting operators to settle payouts directly into external payment accounts.
Legislative Implementation
Under the new regulatory framework, winnings will no longer be automatically routed to personal bank cards. Betting companies must now process settlements through alternative channels established by federal gambling regulations. The measure standardizes financial operations across the domestic betting market.The law follows recent amendments to the Russian Federation’s gambling legislation. Implementation guidelines and transition periods will be detailed in subsequent official documentation.
