Online Lottery Software Licenses and Compliance Requirements in Russia
Russian lotteries are tightly regulated as they operate under the Federal Law No. 138-FZ. This law specifically limits the permitted lotteries to state-organized and certain international draws. The same law also delegates the approval process for operators to the Ministry of Sports and the Ministry of Finance.
Any online lottery operator that launches a lottery platform in Russia must be designated by the authorities; otherwise, they cannot operate in the country legally. Foreign vendors cannot simply sell tickets into Russia; they need a compliant Russian legal presence or an approved local partner, Russia-based data hosting to meet Personal Data Law No. 152-FZ, and demonstrable information-security controls such as FSTEC certification and regular audits.
Operators must also implement AML/KYC, tax, and reporting modules required by regulators, and account for export-control and sanctions rules that affect software and hosting choices. Meet these requirements up front to avoid suspension, fines, or blocked payment flows.
Overview of the Online Lottery Software Market in Russia
Russia has a long history of offering lotteries to the people, beginning from the early imperial-era draws to the Soviet Sportloto phenomenon that embedded lotteries into public life as mass entertainment and state revenue. This means the online lottery has a cultural familiarity, which operators looking to launch a platform today in the country must capitalize on. Since lotteries are socially accepted in ways that other forms of gambling are not, it means players respond well to well-marketed national draws.
Legally, lotteries are tightly regulated under Federal Law No. 138-FZ, which defines permitted formats and places regulation firmly with state bodies. However, over the last decade, the Russian government and legislators have narrowed down an operator’s freedom by delegating a lot of lottery-related functions to state-controlled distribution. This has made compliance a mandatory requirement for business foundations.
In Russia, Stoloto and state-linked distributors dominate online lottery ticket sales as they combine online channels with a vast retail network. Moreover, the Russian market structure favors platforms that can integrate with existing distribution models and provide regulator-ready reporting and transparency.
Data protection is another nonnegotiable aspect of online lottery software operations in Russia. Personal Data Law No. 152-FZ requires local processing and strict controls for citizen data. For non-Russian operators, this means you must adopt Russia-based hosting and privacy workflows or work via a compliant local partner; otherwise, you face blocking, fines, or operational interruption.

Having this level of flexibility gives you access to different revenue streams while keeping the players engaged without deploying separate platforms.
