Also Belarus is benefiting mostly from 1) refining Russian oil, which they buy at lower prices, 2) gambling (which is illegal in Russia, so Russians go to Belarus) and 3) reselling European food to Russia to bypass Russian anti-sanctions.
Their economy is quite shitty and simply parasitizing on Russia.
Gambling is legal in Russia in specific gaming zones.

Which are virtually non-existent.

It's illegal outside special zones which are virtually non-existent. Yes, it's virtually illegal.
Special zones are inside of Russia. So in fact gambling in Russia is not illegal, it is limited to special zones.

1) Do your homework. They do you exist, my flower. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling_in_Russia
2) Absense of something doesn't make it illegal.
Looks you have failed logic state here.
