The gambling industry in Russia contribute an insignificant percentage of revenue to the Russian economy. Most sanctions on Russia have done little to deter them from continuing the invasion of Ukraine. The oil and gas sector is the mainstay of the Russian economy, hence any form of boycott should be targeted at that sector. Boycotting Russian gambling platforms would only affect the common man in the streets of Russia. Many inhabitants of Russia get their basic needs from these platforms. Boycotting this platforms would only cause hunger and death of the less privileged while the political class would still be living in plenty. Russian gambling site also employs non-Russians around the world. Hence boycotting these platforms can even affect members of this forum negatively.
