Industry on Thursdays: "Esports in Russia and the CIS — money, betting, laws"

In today’s issue of Industry on Thursdays, we talked with Stepan Shulga, head of the esports division of Parimatch. We discussed what the modern Russian-speaking esports market is today, how it works, what it earns and whether it earns at all. They also touched upon such topics as brands, betting business and legislative initiatives of the Russian Federation.
