Russia’s telecom watchdog appears to have gotten a little drunk with power this weekend, having ordered the blocking of over 1,500 online gambling domains in a single day.

Roskomnadzor, which is tasked with protecting Russians from harmful online products (like gambling) and information (President Vladimir Putin’s reputed $200b net worth), has earned a reputation as the undisputed most-vigilant censor in terms of blocking access to internationally licensed gambling sites that compete with locally licensed online sports betting operators.

In August, Roskomnadzor blocked nearly 14,500 gambling domains, bringing the year-to-date total to over 76k, a 269% gain over this time last year. Incredibly, Roskomnadzor has proven capable of maintaining this torrid pace, including over 3,100 new domains blocked in just the seven days ending September 28.

However, on September 29 (Saturday), whoever was running Roskomnadzor’s switches found another gear. Incredibly, over 1,500 gambling domains were tagged with the watchdog’s scarlet letter in a 24-hour span, and the names read like a who’s who of European operators.
