For the first time, Federal Tax Service interferes with casino transactions. All payments related to Azino777 casino are now officially banned in Russia. So far this Azino777 is the only service on the blacklist. According to the Vedomosti newspaper, the reason for sanctions is a violation of Russian legislation.
Starting from the previous week all banks and payment systems registered on Russia’s territory are obliged to decline any transactions related to Azino777.
Victory777 N.V. - the owner of Azino777 is registered on Curacao island and operates under the license issued by the Gambling Commission of Curacao.
The bar relies on the 2006 amendment to the Gambling Law. Starting from 2006 all land-based and virtual casinos are banned on the territory of Russia (except for special gambling zones). In addition in 2012, the government created State Register for the prohibited services and web sites. Internet providers in Russia are obliged to block any site from the blacklist so that users can’t reach it. State Register is regularly updated by Federal Tax Service, Federal Supervision Agency and courts.
As for today, more than 300 Azino777 mirrors have been included in the list. Such policy, however, hasn’t much affected the operation of the scandal gambling operator. According to the newest amendments, all financial institutions will prohibit Victory 777-related transactions judging by MCC code (a multi-digit number that defines the beneficiary’s company’s profile) and final receiver info.
