Bwin’s Russian betting site shuts down

19 Feb 2021

bwin-russia The Russian-licensed betting site of Bwin, Bwin.ru, has stopped its operations in the Russian market. Last weekend, players from Russia were being displayed with a message that the site was “unavailable at present” and that it’s going through a “system maintenance work”. The news came out as a surprise and without any warning prior to that.

At first, the bookmaker’s social media platforms were quiet about the issue. A few days later though, Bwin confirmed that it’s shutting its Russian operations and blamed it on legislation changes and changing realities.

Bwin launched its Russian website in November of 2017 and was one of the first western European bookmakers to do so. Players that were betting under Bwin in Russia will be integrated into Parimatch.ru. The integration will be completed by the end of the month and all bettors that were forced to switch websites will be provided with a unique bonus offer.

Parimatch Russia CEO, Ruslan Medved, stated that: “Not all companies are now able to compete with the mastodons and, no less important, with the market itself and its realities.” In addition, he promised that the website integration would be “as painless as possible for everyone without sacrificing loyalty.”

Bookmakers rating

In order to correctly estimate a bookmakers rating, you have to include the value of the offered odds, the variety and speed of transactions as well as their customer support. The invaluable experience we have gained from cooperating with some of the most respected betting firms, has shown us that each customer deserves a strict but fair judgement on every bookmaker.

Odds comparison

The average payout for most major football leagues stands at 95%, but a curious player may often find profitable opportunities. Pinnacle offers quite a lot of them, with the average payout on some of the top leagues standing at a huge 98%, while 1xbet offers the highest spreads on every major league.

Mobile Betting

Mobile betting is spreading to such an extent that it will soon exceed the common way of wagering through a personal computer. It currently stands at a huge 30%, with the market's trend showing that it will overlap computers by 2018.

Bonus

Every bookmaker will offer bonuses and promotions, to new and existing members. They can range from a standard 100% sign up bonus to a cash back event from a major football event, such as a moneyback offer on the UEFA Champions League Final. You can find every single detail about any betting company's bonus and promotion on our website as well as compare bookmakers based on their first deposit bonus. Make sure to regularly check the bonus & promo sections to receive information concerning any new offers.

Trust

Although it might seem tempting to sign up to an unverified bookmaker that offers profitable odds, or even no commision, in most cases you will be caught in a scam and lose all your money. It is far prefferable to choose a well known and respected bookmaker, that has obtained a license under a strict regulatory body. This way, you can be easily assisted through a full customer support and rest assured that you can withdraw your money at any time.
