In Russia, legislation centred on sports betting was passed in the summer of 2020. Within this new framework, which was approved in its final readings, the country permitted tax wagers made through international internet sportsbooks.

Several sporting leagues in Russia are gaining popularity in the sports betting industry.

The revenue generated by sports betting in Russia is invested in the regulated areas where sports betting is permitted.

This money is distributed to local governments for use in schools, public transportation, and a variety of other purposes. There is also revenue returned to the country's capital and distributed to the rest of the country. The majority of tax revenue, however, goes to local governments. Because online sportsbooks are based in other countries, their revenue does not flow to Russia.
