Abstract

The article analyses prevention of gambling in the General spectrum of legal education. The authors draw attention to the fact that in the Russian Federation, as in most countries of the world, there are legislative restrictions and prohibitions on the organization of or participation in gambling and sweepstakes. The legality of this activity is often associated with a specific place, region or state of the country. In Russia, for example, it is the Krasnodar territory, and in the United States - Nevada. Restrictions in the law are associated with negative consequences of gambling - the possibility of bankruptcy, gambling addiction, mental disorders, etc. The article concludes that the multiplicity of changes in the wording of article 171.2 of the Criminal code of Russia in 2011-2018 is associated with the distinction with the existing similar provisions of administrative legislation. The amendments lead to positive results, but adjustments in the future are desirable in order to prevent this illegal phenomenon.
