🇷🇺 Russia orders bookmakers to add savings link

Russia will require bookmakers to place a link on their websites to the Long-Term Savings Programme section of the ‘My Finances’ portal, under a Finance Ministry order signed by Anton Siluanov. The rule takes effect on 1 September 2026, according to igaming_news on Telegram. 📌 The aim is to show players alternative ways to use spare funds and broaden access to financial education. It will launch on the same day as Russia’s voluntary state self-exclusion system for gambling, signalling a wider push on consumer protection and responsible play. 💡🎯
