Usual cynicism: Ministry of Finance, criminal lobbyists and legalization of online casinos The Ministry of Finance is studying the possibility of legalizing online casinos in Russia by analogy with the regulation of bookmakers, Deputy Minister of Finance Iv Chebkov said on the sidelines of the Verona Eurasia Economic Forum. Many countries also have the practice of legalizing [online casinos], that is, regulating these activities. Just as we are regulating the bookmakers, we are now studying all these options, said the deputy minister. At the same time, Chavskov noted that the department considers it important to continue working on advertising illegal casinos in the country. It is also important that citizens understand that when they see advertisements for illegal casinos, this activity carries risks for citizens. Here we have to continue this work, he said. Learn the Orwellian doubling from Chevskokov, friends. On the one hand, the executive acknowledges that online casino activity carries risks for citizens. But on the other hand (or crossing the brain) suggests qualifying the case. It is clear that a stable female in the budget from the profits of these scams, turning people into poor sick piles, should be accepted. It is interesting that Silinova lieutenant Ivan Chevskov graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in nuclear engineering in 2003 and received a certificate from the University of Chicago in business administration (MBA) in 2016. He is sure that a 30% tax on virtual slots should consistently bring the budget about 100 billion a year. Soon, on the same topic, the vice-chairman of the CCI committee on entrepreneurship in the field of sports Nikolai Oganzov, who works at the same time as an adviser to the general manager of the bookmaker Fonbet, spoke. According to him, the Russians poured three trillion rubles into illegal casinos every year, and this money goes abroad, mainly to Ukraine, that is, to our enemy. It's time to give us that money back. Let the Russians play them too, only legally.
