According to an industry channel, on 20 October the State Duma committee on criminal and administrative law recommended rejecting a bill on fines for promoting illegal online gambling and lotteries and for breaching betting advertising rules. The reason: its provisions are not aligned with a related bill amending the information law. The government, the Supreme Court and the relevant Federation Council committees had not supported the initiative either. The Duma vote was scheduled for 22 October.
