Russia has begun to block domain names of online gambling companies located both within the country and abroad.
Over a dozen such sites were taken offline in recent days by Roskomnadzor, the federal agency that oversees the media. Sites affected included 888, Pinnacle Sports and Ladbrokes, among others.
