Belarusian is a language belonging to the Eastern Slavic group of the Indo-European family. It is the official language of Belarus. It is spoken in Belarus, in Poland and in immigrant communities (especially in Canada).
Unfortunately, although Belarusian is the official language in Belarus, Belarusian is hardly spoken in the major cities of the country. Today, people often view it as a rural language with no value other than folklore.
There is a high degree of mutual understanding between the Belarusian, Ukrainian and Russian languages. Belarusians understand 80% Ukrainian, 75% Russian, and 41% Polish.
Gambling in Belarus
Let’s dive into the modern Belarusian online gambling market! It should be mentioned that the gambling industry has never been completely banned here, but the country began to fully regulate casinos and bookmakers since 2008. On April 1, 2019, the country introduced the regulation of online gambling. Today, almost all types of gambling are allowed in Belarus, including:
- poker
- slot machines
- sports betting
- live versions of traditional games
Both foreigners and citizens of Belarus can apply for a license. A license cannot be obtained by persons convicted of financial crimes or who have had administrative offenses in the past.
