Within three years, from July of 2012 to July of 2015, the number of registered betting shops in Russia has more than doubled and exceeded 5800. The peaks of this growth occurred in the second halves of 2012 and 2013 respectively. Within the last year the betting shops expansion rate has somewhat slowed down.

Financial experts estimate the Russian licensed betting business financial turnover at 8 billion dollars per year. The betting profit is from 800 million up to 1 billion dollars.
