Don't you consider Russian citizens to be human beings? They are also human beings, so why would they face this boycott, why would they suffer the consequences of political activities ?
I know this boycott will also speak out against Russian civilians, just as the Ukrainian civilians were persecuted. So I don't support the boycott ...

It's just an idea and I don't know if the others have already done it. The thing about boy cotting is that there really are casinos from Russia that are likely a scam and those are the casinos that deserve it.

But for those innocent ones, you do what you think is right. If you've been playing with them for a long time and you see this idea pop out of nowhere then it's still you that's going to decide whether you'll follow the crowd or not.

Exactly. Although sanctions and boycotts are unlikely to stop Putin's war in Ukraine, they do send a strong message to the Russian people that something is seriously wrong. This will undoubtedly cause more defections from the regime, less faith in their government, more awareness of the threats to their economy and living standards and more sympathy for the anti-war protesters. Perhaps even more significantly, more Russians will understand that their government's policies do not represent their interests.

We don't know whether or not Putin will listen to such warnings. But, given the intensity of Russian nationalism, and how little they are held to account for their policies abroad, Putin will be fearful of losing his people's support. And this might persuade him to stop his aggression.
