The President of Russia has recently signed legislation that prohibits bookmakers from transferring betting winnings directly to players' bank cards. The new regulation alters standard payout procedures for licensed gambling operators across the country.
Updated Payment Processing Requirements
Under the revised framework, licensed bookmakers must route all financial transactions through the unified clearing system. Players will no longer receive direct card transfers for settled bets. Winnings must now be credited to internal betting accounts or processed through designated payment terminals. This measure supports federal financial oversight requirements and standardizes transaction monitoring for gambling operators.The legislation follows recent updates to the national gambling control framework. Operators are required to adjust their payment processing systems to comply with the new standards within the established transition period.
