The beginning of a large-scale iGaming war in the post-Soviet space

A foray into personal integrity, this is a new phase in the relationship between orange, blue, black and other coloured companies.

In this regard, we would like to make a number of points:

1. The beginning of a new large-scale iGaming war in the post-Soviet space is unfortunately only a matter of time. Its beginning we already observe in some ex-USSR GEOs. When the market becomes crowded, the game without rules begins. And geographical boundaries do not play a role here.
2. In iGaming wars there are rarely winners. As a rule, at a distance, the parties simply destroy each other, which has been proved by the experience of many GEOs. In many respects, this is also influenced by the ex-USSR mentality, where compromises necessary for the survival of all market participants are seen as weakness.
3. We have seen signs of impending iGaming wars all through 2025. The shooting of live firearms alone, involving the iGaming industry and organised crime, is worth it. And this is not Asia anymore. There was such an episode, we did not write about it as a matter of principle, so as not to complicate anyone's life.
4. Do not think that only serious iGaming figures are in danger. A serious iGaming figure cannot be taken with bare hands, with a rush. They are approached cautiously, slowly, striking smaller figures. Which can be easily exchanged. Such are the tactics and strategy of this dangerous chess.

On the photo is the so-called 4-player chess. Unlike classical chess, there is an astronomical number of combinations. In the course of the game, the sides can unite, betray, etc. Classic «all against all». Serious iGaming figures play exactly this kind of game.
