Insights Into Sports Betting in Russian CitiesSports betting is widely embraced in Russia, following global trends with younger demographics and mobile access driving participation. Major cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg likely dominate due to higher internet penetration, disposable income, and the presence of professional sports teams.
