In the bustling cities of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar, Nizhny Novgorod, and Stavropol, sports enthusiasts have a wide array of betting options at their fingertips. These cities, each with their unique sports culture, offer a diverse range of sports betting markets through online and offshore sportsbooks popular in Russia and worldwide.
Football (soccer) and hockey are among the major sports available for betting, with a wide range of markets including season-long leagues and international contests. For football fans, popular leagues like the English Premier League are covered, while hockey betting includes leagues such as the National Hockey League (NHL) and some European leagues.
Tennis betting markets are also commonly included, often providing live betting options and various prop bets during ATP, WTA, and major grand slam tournaments.
The rapidly growing eSports sector is not left behind, with sportsbooks covering major games such as Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, League of Legends, and Overwatch. Important eSports tournaments like The International and League Championships are offered.
Combat sports like boxing, MMA, and kickboxing are well represented in these betting platforms, with major fights, UFC events, and kickboxing matches typically available, along with many betting types including moneyline and prop bets.
Exotic sports such as motorsports, badminton, darts, handball, winter sports, and more are also listed, although options might vary by bookmaker, especially in offshore and international sites.
The strong sports infrastructure and fan bases in these cities, particularly in Moscow and St. Petersburg for professional hockey and football, Krasnodar for football, and regional interest in boxing/MMA, ensure that betting services cover events relevant to local and international competitions.
Given the restrictive local Russian betting regulations, many bettors in these cities opt for offshore sportsbooks that accept cryptocurrencies like Ethereum for a wide variety of sports and comprehensive markets. These platforms offer competitive odds, live betting, and special markets for the sports in question.
For those who prefer a more convenient way to stay updated on sports news and betting options, a service called "news in Telegram" is available, providing updates directly on one's phone.
