Abstract
The rapid development of the gambling industry, including the online sphere, requires innovative legislation, which necessitated the adoption of Federal Law No. 244-FZ of December 29, 2006 “On state regulation of activities for the organization and conduct of gambling and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation " The development of information technologies and their active implementation in the gambling sector offered players simplicity, convenience, accessibility and confidentiality, and organizers - new opportunities for carrying out activities and avoiding criminal liability. This led to the emergence of a number of theoretical and practical problems in the field of legal regulation of such a process.
The purpose of this study is to study the problem of criminal legal counteraction to the use of information and telecommunication networks to commit crimes in the gambling sector.
To achieve the stated goal, the following tasks have been identified: to determine reasons and conditions for running online casinos; formulate proposals for improving legislation and the practice of its application in order to increase the effectiveness of countering the illegal organization and conduct of gambling on the Internet.
The conclusions of this study are that currently only criminal legal means are not enough to effectively combat illegal gambling on the Internet; an integrated systematic approach is required, including not only criminal instruments, but administrative ones within the framework of public administration, civil law , computer and technical measures aimed at combating illegal gambling.
