🇷🇺 Russia boosts tech crackdown on illegal casinos

Russia’s Federal Tax Service has launched a tender worth ₽68.25m for a system to detect illegal online casinos and lotteries, according to Sports.ru, citing the state procurement portal. 🧾 The platform will scan suspicious sites, check redirects and compare domains against licensed betting operators. The system is expected to handle around 100,000 queries a month and support up to 300 FTS users through September 2027. 🔍 It will also capture screenshots and video evidence before sending cases to Russia’s banned-content register run by Roskomnadzor. For the industry, that signals tighter enforcement and more pressure on black-market traffic. ⚖️ 🌐 Source: Sports.ru
