Conflicting reports have emerged as to whether or not Russia has chosen to regulate online poker.

On Thursday, Russian media outlet Interfax.ru reported that a study commissioned last year by Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov had concluded that poker was not gambling and thus state authorities needed to make amendments to the appropriate regulations in preparation for a regulated market launch.

Shuvalov has yet to comment, but another Interfax source claimed no decision had been made. The source went on to say that the only conclusion that had been reached was that, should the government decide to go all-in, all servers containing Russian poker player data would need to be stored within Russia, in keeping with strict new regulations passed last year and which take effect this September.

Another Russian news agency, Itar-Tass, also reported that Shuvalov has yet to make a decision on poker regulation one way or the other. Itar-Tass claimed Shuvalov had discussed the issue with the relevant government departments, but had given no instructions beyond ordering them to submit legal assessments of what is and isn’t gambling.
