How to open a gaming club in the Russian Federation? Let's consider the main trends in the development of the gaming business.
Is it possible to open a gaming club
Nowadays, the situation with online games in the country is contradictory. According to legislative documents, a taboo is imposed on the gambling business, therefore, it is not possible to open a club in reality. But is it possible to open an online gaming club? The existing ban concerns the organization of the gambling business, and not gambling as such.
If you decide to place servers in Internet zones where gambling is allowed, then you will face a completely different problem: there is no official document regulating the opening of an online casino in the Russian Federation. In the spring of this year, the State Duma considered a bill on the return of the gambling industry to the country. Whether changes will be made to the normative document, while one can only speculate. The lack of funding sources for the budget is pushing the deputies to look for additional funds.
In April, the government passed a new law to amend and streamline the taxation process for lotteries and sweepstakes.
Now taxation is applied to legal entities that pay a cash prize in the amount of 15 thousand rubles. This applies not only to lotteries and game sweepstakes, but also to payment units, including electronic money systems - Qiwi, Webmoney, as well as Interkassa, Robokassa, etc.
Today, the Webmoney payment system is experiencing difficulties associated with the crediting of funds and their withdrawal. State structures decided to focus not on the control of activities, but on the collection of taxes. According to the newly introduced scheme, it is the responsibility of the operator, and not of the player, to withhold a certain amount from the winnings. At the same time, amounts up to 4000 rubles are not subject to taxation.
When did the ban on the development of the gaming business in the global network come into effect? Officially, the law regarding the ban on casinos came into effect in the summer of 2009.
How to open a gaming club
The exact wording of the law regulating the gambling business is as follows: "On state regulation of activities for the organization and conduct of gambling and on amendments to some legislative acts of the Russian Federation." Since the fall of 2015, the Federal Tax Service, Roskomnadzor and the General Prosecutor's Office do not have to wait for the decision of the courts to stop the activities of illegal Internet resources.
This legislative document has been amended as follows (since January 2016):
The most frequent violations are related to the number of machines and the area of the room allocated for the hall.
Nowadays, in Russia, several gambling zones operate on a legal basis: the Kaliningrad region, the Altai Territory, the Primorsky Territory, a zone on the border between the Rostov Region and the Krasnodar Territory. There are 3 legal casinos in the gambling zones: "Oracle", "Nirvana", "Altai Palace".
Today, the opportunity to open a gaming club legally is an impossible dream. Now the state authorities, and the owners of gambling establishments themselves, are at a crossroads. Many observers expect events that will help change the view on the development of the gambling business in the country.
In general, playing on the Internet is comfortable and safe. Now you can play online games on the following resources:
- BetAdonis website. The operator pays 20% of the loss of the deposit, a Russian-language version of the Internet resource has been created. You can replenish your account using the following payment systems: Webmoney, Qiwi and Visa. Withdrawal of money after several hours.
- PlayAmo Casino - guarantees the payment of winnings after a few hours if there is a request.
- Vulcan Casino.
- Wonclub.
The evolution of online gaming is far from over. As long as there is an opportunity to continue playing. To avoid nervous breakdowns, opt for proven online gaming services.

Computer games were originally born as "entertainment for one": to play, a person did not need anything other than a computer. Multiplayer, which involved playing against a live opponent, was added much later. And only in exceptional cases (for example, in Counter-Strike) it is primary in relation to the single-coil mode, or even completely replaces it. And in non-computer games, the opposite is true. As a rule, in order to play any board game, several participants are required.
A computer is bought in a store or any other place where paper equivalents of yours (or dad's, someone else's)

Well - friends-buddies are invariably found, whose hearts are burning with a desire (probably, you kindled) to participate in D&D-shnom module, play fifty games Magic: The Gathering spread out on the army table Warhammer... But friends-buddies are not always present in the proper quantity and assortment and are not always ready to devote all their free time to you (perhaps it is dear to them as a memory). And I just want to chat with someone else, see, so to speak, a world that is not limited by the painful recognizability of boring cute friendly faces!
And then, illuminated with hope and spreading the wings of a premonition of the unknown, you can go to the club, where to look for companions in table-game entertainment. Go out, so to speak. Show up in people, otherwise pronouncing. You get the idea, in short.
In general, there are many reasons why people are drawn to clubs. We have already named one. Let's assign it a serial number "first".
Now - secondly, right? Why not - great - secondly! - there is a place in the club where you can play. The most meaningful places (apartments and forest / park meadows) are not always accessible. The former is due to parents, harmful neighbors and other obstacles, and the latter is due to changeable weather conditions.
Thirdly: clubs usually sell all sorts of game facilities, and once in a club, you can also stock up at the same time.
But not everything is so simple with board clubs games. The trick is that the games are all different, and therefore the atmosphere in each club is special. A similar situation is observed in computer gaming clubs, but there it is not so pronounced.
Today we finally decided to dot all the letters of the alphabet and tell what clubs for board games exist and what they are.
People who play games
The main contingent of club visitors
| |
Traditionally, it was believed that board games are designed for the family circle. And only in the last couple of years stereotypes have come to an end, and the club-youth movement has gained revolutions. This happened due to the fact that many modern board games deliberately focus on tournament play (for example Magic: The Gathering). You can, of course, play them at home with friends, but the home game is very different from the tournament game. Play at home is primarily for fun and enjoyment. At the tournament - also for the sake of winning, victory and self-affirmation. Some games are generally very difficult to play at home - you need special tabletops or other equipment, which not every novice commander or magician can spend money on (the most striking example is military tactical games, such as Warhammer).
Most often, board games clubs work with some one game direction. Today the overwhelming majority of clubs are promoting collectible card games, there are many clubs for military tactics, and there are practically no clubs for role-playing games. All existing clubs can be roughly divided into three broad categories: "tables at the store", "gaming clubs" and "clubs of like-minded people".
Shop tables
Selling board games - not potatoes
| |
The most striking example is the company's clubs "Sargon" , the main "seller" of card games. In addition to the sale of cards and attributes for the game, tournaments, presentations of new sets, city championships, etc. are regularly held there.
The main advantage of such "clubs-shops" is that you can always buy a full range of products in them (the St. Petersburg branch of the company, by the way, is at the same time an office, warehouse and club). However, as a rule, apart from the "main product", such clubs do not promote anything, and therefore the range of services they provide is limited. Occasionally you can find a fridge with soda and storage rooms. Most often, such clubs are located in dormitory areas, in small semi-basements, sometimes temporary premises are rented for them in schools or art houses.
Club for the club
Recently, there have been clubs whose main task is not to sell goods, but to provide players with the opportunity to comfortably spend time playing their favorite game. Most often, such establishments have a narrow thematic focus - only military tactical or only card games. Of course, such clubs may also have shops, but the emphasis is on organizing the gaming space.
A characteristic feature of such clubs is the presence of special employees - game administrators who can teach you how to play "from scratch" or explain the intricacies of the rules, as well as advise when buying. Most often, it depends on the personality of the administrator whether the club will use
| |
Unlike "clubs-shops", gaming clubs are usually located in good areas and occupy a significant area of space - their main task is to make the visitor satisfied, and therefore there are usually more requirements for them. Typically, such clubs provide a wide range of related services - from organizing tournaments and conducting educational events to hot cuisine and beer sales. Sometimes you can even come across a computer room for fans of virtual blood.
Like-minded club
It happens like this: a company plays a favorite game. They play, going home, gradually expanding the circle of friends, bringing new acquaintances. After a while, when to gather at home,
| |
The described situation is very typical for peripheral cities - many of the existing clubs of card games began precisely with the initiative of several players.
* * *
Today, most of the existing establishments belong precisely to the category of "tables at store ". Hence the overwhelming number of" card "clubs and the almost complete absence of clubs for roleplayers. Despite this, one can only be glad that there are clubs, their number is growing, and the demand for them is constantly increasing. And maybe after a while the clubs board games will become as commonplace as computer clubs and internet cafes, at least the current board game clubs are not always able to keep up with the influx of visitors.
The photographs used in the article were taken in the clubs "MagicLand" (Kiev), "Sargon" (St. Petersburg) and "Labyrinth" (Moscow).
Clubs of card games
Moscow
"Portal". At the moment it is the largest club of card games in Moscow. Basement in the city center,
| |
"Odyssey". The oldest club in Moscow. In the recent past, the club held educational role-playing games, but today only cards remain - MTG, Legend of the Five Rings, etc.
St. Petersburg
"Sargon". The only club in the whole city that deals with board games. The focus is on MTG. A canteen in a nearby school is rented for tournaments on weekends. The most stylish and, perhaps, the coziest of all Sargon establishments. On weekends Warhammer fans began to gather here as well.
Kiev
"MagicLand". At the moment - the best club for playing MTG, which has become a cult among Russian players. A huge two-story building (a former kindergarten building), its own club system, regular prestigious tournaments, which attract players from the CIS countries.
"Legend". Another Sargon club, the only one on the territory of Ukraine. In addition to MTG, there is an opportunity to play role-playing games.
Clubs of card games in other cities
Many cities have Magic: The Gathering clubs. These clubs host tournaments, regional championships, prereleases. new sets, etc. Unfortunately, almost all of these clubs, except MTG, do nothing.
Military tactical games clubs
Moscow
"BoltFire".
| |
"Alegris". Club at the warehouse of a company of the same name that sells military tactical games. It is located in the basement and has terrain tables where you can play Warhammer 40k and other military tactical games. Cheap and cheerful.
"Age of Battles". A club made by a plastic factory "Star" to promote your own gaming system.
Universal clubs
Moscow
"Dream country". The once popular gathering place for fans of card and military tactical BattleTech also attracted fans of Warhammer and even roleplayers. Unfortunately, the cheap booze bar and the loyalty of the guards have led serious players to avoid the club as a hangout.
"Labyrinth". A very young club with serious demands. It was conceived as a club for role-playing games, but it quickly outgrew this status due to the large area of the premises. In addition to traditional card games and military tactical games, board-print games are rented, as well as training events in all game areas. The club has a cafe and a games store.
In the modern world, the Internet is practically indispensable. Despite the fact that every day it is becoming more and more popular in private houses and apartments, it is not always possible to stretch fiber and make traffic available and inexpensive. In this case, a specialized institution that provides Internet access for a fee can be an excellent alternative. It can be a large internet club or a relatively small one. In the latter version, a small room is rented, which is equipped with up to 20 workstations with computers and software.
A large computer club has 30-50 rather powerful machines with high-speed Internet, VIP-rooms and a cafe. Establishments of this scale pay off slowly, as they require serious capital investments, but they usually do not have problems with regulatory authorities. But regardless of the format of the future institution, you will definitely need a competent and accurate business plan for a computer club.
Legal Issues
Any business must be legal from a legal point of view, and gambling is no exception. The best organizational and legal form for opening a computer club is an individual entrepreneur (individual entrepreneur). First, you need to come up with a memorable and sonorous name for the club, which is related to computer topics.
In order to register an institution, you will need:
- registration application;
- memorandum of association;
- the charter of the future enterprise and information about the founder of the club;
- a receipt confirming the payment of the state duty;
- documents that confirm the consent of the antimonopoly authorities.
It is also necessary to settle all issues with the regulatory authorities. It is usually difficult to meet all the requirements, so their decision will depend on many factors. For the institution to work around the clock, you will need to obtain permission from the police station.
If you plan to open a small gaming computer club, then it makes no sense to immediately spend money on the purchase of licensed software, but you still need to take into account that in the future it will be necessary to purchase it. This can be done through the Russian representative offices of manufacturing companies. Before installing a licensed program, you will need a special license that allows its commercial use. You can buy it from a distributor company, the cost of the license is calculated individually for each computer club.

Location selection
The best place to open such an institution is a residential area with a large population or a street where a significant number of educational institutions are concentrated. A good place for a computer club is a busy intersection, a market area or a large store. It is undesirable to open an institution of such a plan in residential buildings, since the audience of the gaming computer club is quite noisy, so the tenants will definitely complain. In addition, in a residential building, the club is most often located in the basement, respectively, it will be difficult to obtain permits from the sanitary and epidemiological station and the fire inspection.
The rental price per square meter in residential areas is usually low, so the annual payment will not be too high.

Clients and demand for services
The main visitors to the computer club will be:
- students and schoolchildren visiting the institution not only for educational purposes, but also for the game;
- clients of different ages who rarely go to the computer club.
Given that the sphere of distribution of computer services is quite developed, the main attention in the process of developing a project should be paid to the relationship between the user and the seller.
It is necessary to focus on the qualifications, competence and friendliness of the managers who will serve the game room.
The services of a computer club are almost always in demand. But at the same time, seasonal deviations upward or downward are possible. During the period of exams and sessions in universities, attendance for educational purposes increases significantly, while games begin to interest potential customers during school holidays.
In the pricing process, it is important to consider the purchasing power of the prospective customers and the quality of the services provided.

Necessary equipment and staffing
The next step is purchasing equipment. It is important here not to save money on the purchase of the necessary equipment, since many visitors come to play in a computer club, and games require high-quality and modern equipment. Therefore, the more powerful the equipment, the more visited the institution will be. You will also need to purchase printers and scanners, appropriate furniture: tables, chairs; equip the administrator's workplace.
Next, you need to find the right staff for the job. Several people will be required for technical support and setting up computer hardware and software. You can invite students of specialized universities who live nearby. If we talk about a small club, then 3-4 people will be enough for its normal operation, who will maintain the software and work with clients. You will also need one system administrator. Basically, computer clubs work around the clock, so you need to organize work in two shifts. You can't do without a security guard, as the establishment will have expensive equipment.
For the official registration of personnel, you will need to register an employment contract with many authorities, such as tax, social, pension and health insurance funds. You will need to keep payroll, start work books and tax cards for each employee. Therefore, if there is an opportunity, it is better to agree with a large organization so that it is there that the personnel are registered, and then they are rented out to the club. As a result, you can get rid of the paperwork, which will be dealt with by the HR department of the enterprise. An accountant will be needed for accounting, if the owner of the club cannot handle this matter.

Effective advertising methods
After opening a new computer club, you can start an advertising campaign. For this you will need:
- to post leaflets with prices and the address of the club on schools and entrances of houses (before compiling a layout for an advertisement, it is important to take into account that the main target audience is adolescents 10-18 years old);
- place ads on the Internet on specialized sites;
- create a noticeable and bright signboard with a detailed list of services provided;
- regularly arrange various promotions and tournaments;
- create a system of discounts, for example, for clients who work more than three hours in a row.

Development of a computer club
It is important for a newly opened establishment to provide a sufficient level of service, because most computer clubs are usually inattentive to their customers. Since a specific audience usually gathers in this place, then it is necessary to act outside the box. There are situations when older guys demand money from younger ones. Therefore, as an option, you can give the hooligans a free subscription for a month. You can also try to attract the attention of visitors to your establishment through various competitions with monetary rewards. Or create a board of honor.
It is necessary to come up with and implement original ideas, as a result, the constant development of even a small club will help to significantly increase the monthly revenue from each computer. Over time, the institution will be able to move to a new level, the clients of which will be a wealthy public. It will be possible to provide the following services:
- high speed internet access;
- copying and burning discs;
- work with office applications;
- scanning of various documents;
- listing of files;
- photocopying;
- conducting computer courses.
It may be necessary to create two rooms: one, a playroom, for young people, and the other for more serious clients.
Once you decide that you want to open your own children's club, you, of course, will not immediately start buying equipment and recruiting a team. You will study the specifics of this business. And also you will definitely come up with a name to his brainchild. And this is not an easy task! There are already thousands of clubs with pretty and not so pretty names.
Using this guide, you can come up with a great name for your childcare center, which your clients will like.

How can you come up with something original if there are already so many wonderful names?
I propose to use the best practices of artists and designers, namely the methods of creative search. The main one is search for associations.
7 methods of creative search:
- Browse this list of names of kids' clubs and development centers. Turn on your associative thinking and continue each of the categories with their names. For example, for the category "Animals" I thought of the following words: Tit, Kitten, Sparrow, Stork, Giraffe, Penguin, Peacock, Whale, Fox, Drakosha.
- Any of these names can be matched with bright adjective... Well, for example: the Smart Tit children's club, the Orange Kitten early development school, the Tsvetnoy Peacock children's art studio, the Magnificent Sparrow children's center, the White Stork family center, the Merry Giraffe family entertainment center, development center "Kind Drakosha".
- You can also add to the Russian word foreign words or take completely foreign phrase... For example, the art studio "Art Lis" or the kids' club "Clever Fox".
- Consider different active titles... For example, the children's development center "Play, baby!"
- Call friends, family or colleagues and arrange brainstorm... This is the same method of associations, only here not one person thinks, but several. They alternately name associations. It is important for someone to write down all the ideas called. The hive mind often works wonders.
- If you are a famous person or professional in the field of child development, you you can use your name in the name of the children's club. For example, "Lena Danilova's site".
- you also can take over the name club located in another city, but consider the following:
secondly, do not take the names of very famous children's institutions. It will be difficult for you to first reach their level and then surpass it. The same applies to the promotion of the site of your children's club;
thirdly, try to change at least something in the original name. This is necessary in order to avoid a situation when Google (or another search engine) will return 2 clubs with the same name to the query “Children's club“ Vesely broom ””.
What shouldn't you call a kids' club?
- Do not use words that can cause any side negative associations. For example, the unfortunate name for a children's club is "Whisper", because it is associated with the word "blindness." And also in the stores you can find children's juice "Speleonok", the name of which is often read as "Snotty".
- Avoid words and phrases that are difficult to pronounce (Example: Ribambel Kids Club). Be careful with diminutives - they are not always appropriate. For example, names like "Chameleon" or "Brovarchenok" are a little difficult to read.
- Do not use incomprehensible words, because you will have to explain them for a long time to everyone. Example: "Hyperborea", "Athyudiki".
- Beware of harsh and distant words. You will have to build a complex connection between the name of the institution and its attitude towards children. For example, "Bartolomeo", "Garage" or "Tachanka".
- Banal and very common names are also not the best option. They attract little attention, and there are too many identical names in the search engine. In addition, associations with the school circles of our Soviet childhood have not disappeared anywhere. For example, "Rainbow", "Sun", "Dawn", "Camomile".
In addition to the name, the children's institution also has definition... Here, too, a huge field for imagination opens up. Moreover, the definition is much deeper than the name. It displays essence and main idea children's institution. For example, the "talent club" indicates that children's talents are valued here and, in addition to developing activities, many sections and courses are conducted. Family Centers have programs designed not only for children, but also for their parents.
38 definitions for preschool institutions:
With a focus on child development:
Children's Club, Center for Early Development, Development Center, Educational and Development Center, Institute for Child Intelligence Development, School of Development, Child Development Center, Center for Child Development, Center for Intelligence Development, Children's Club, Early Development Studio, School of the Future First Grader, Early Development Groups, English Kids Club, Harmonious Development Club, Training Center, Child Psychology and Development Club, Montessori Center, Children's Education Center
Working with families:
Family Center, Family Club, Family Development Center, Family Ecology Center, Family Success Club, Family Club, Family Psychological Club, Family Leisure Club, Family Entertainment Center, Center for Children and Parents
A variety of studios, a focus on creativity:
Talent Club, Children's Creative Development Center, Children's Culture Center
Children's leisure:
Leisure club, Kids 'leisure club, Kids' play club
Emphasis on a supportive atmosphere:
Kind home, Eco-club, Friends club.
These definitions are very beautiful and varied, but I want to insert my own fly in the ointment: When asking a search engine a question, customers are most often looking for simple and familiar definitions. Therefore, if you are planning on using the Internet, it is better to dwell on more banal words, such as “kids club” or “children's development center”.
I hope that this extensive article did not tire you, but inspire you. And you already come up with the best name for your childcare center!
P.S. If you liked this article, feel free to . There will be many articles on the opening and operation of the kindest and most interesting business.

How clubs with prohibited slot machines work in Russia
In Yekaterinburg and other cities of Russia, clubs with slot machines operate openly. Now referred to as "vectoral systems" or "bookmakers", anyone who walks inside can be convinced that under the guise of sports betting and financial trading, visitors are playing the same pocket-emptying mini-games on slot machines that were banned almost 10 years ago ...
The work of such establishments is often reported by the townspeople. We decided to check for ourselves what is hidden behind the catchy signs and blank facades, and went to one of the clubs called Vekselnaya Sistema, located at the intersection of Belinsky and Shchorsa streets.
At the entrance, our correspondent (who does not represent himself as a media employee) is searched with a metal detector. The dark room is spacious, there are dozens of machines in it. There are 20-25 people behind the machine guns. Mid-week. One p.m.
A man sits at one of the devices, buried in a screen, on which a monkey is jumping. Drinks beer. Nearby is a disheveled middle-aged woman, she gazes at him with doom and silence. There are two people from Central Asia behind the next device. They whisper quickly about something and alternately point their fingers at the screen.
The girl-administrator insinuatingly offers to go to the cashier to "draw up a bill." An imposing security guard is on duty at the checkout window. Before buying the promissory note, they offer to sign a document that regulates the activities of the club. It is positioned as "over-the-counter trading". In fact, it is an analogue of binary options popular on the network. Allegedly, playing on machines is trading in virtual assets, bills of exchange. In reality, the player receives a plastic card on which the paid amount is entered. There are many identical announcements on the walls, which say that in one of the branches of the "Veksel system" in the Botanical Microdistrict, the player is refunded 10% of the money spent the next day after the game.
Next, the administrator offers to take a free machine and place the card in the slot. After that, the "bidding" begins: the player can choose the classic games for this kind of slot machines. “Here are Monkeys, Climber, Fruits. With this button you can select one of the lines, matches will be counted along them, ”explains the girl.
The game is a classic "one-armed bandit": you press a button, pictures randomly drop out. If several of them line up in a sequence along the selected line, the player is offered to raise the stakes - to agree to an additional mini-game and open one of five playing cards. When certain bonus pictures fall out, another mini-game is triggered. The hand-drawn climber is faced with a choice between three pitches, along which one can begin the ascent. On some, obstacles await him - a cave with a monster. The monster hits the man in the head and he falls. Minus 42 rubles on the account.
It took our correspondent about 40 minutes to lose 150 rubles. The regulars go up to the checkout and buy several cards for several thousand rubles. Apparently, in order to play at once on several, as they believe, "lucky" machines.
The papers given to the player to sign contain the name of Tandem LLC. In total, there are about 1.5 thousand operating companies with this name in Russia, we did not manage to find out what kind of company we are talking about.
After making sure that we are talking about the most real slot machines, we decided to ask law enforcement agencies: why such clubs operate in the city so shamelessly, because gambling outside special zones is prohibited, and the Sverdlovsk police headquarters quite often informs about the suppression of the activities of another gambling establishment.
“Since 2015, the Yekaterinburg police have carried out 73 operations on reports of such establishments. The premises were sealed, the equipment was sent for examination. However, we came to the conclusion that this equipment is not gambling. In this regard, it was returned to the owners, and the materials of the checks were sent to the Investigative Committee for a decision, ”the press group of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Yekaterinburg said.
It turned out that in 2015 equipment was also seized from the very premises where our correspondent went.
In the regional investigation department of the TFR, we were told that if the results of the examination show that the equipment is not gambling, then there is nothing to initiate proceedings on illegal gambling activity.
But why didn't the experts find signs of gambling equipment in the "monkeys" and "fruits"? For a comment, we turned to experts in the organization ANO "Judicial Expert" (Moscow), which, among other things, conduct an examination of gambling equipment.
“The situation that you explained is absolutely standard, it is inherent not only in your region, but also in everyone else. If you take our practice, researchers of the same apparatus may come to different conclusions. It all depends on the form in which this device gets to them. If the object of research was removed inappropriately, then the conclusions will be appropriate. What is often passed on to experts does not really fall under the concept of gaming equipment, because it does not have the necessary hardware - a random number generator. It is clear that if an expert looks at it, he cannot conclude that this is a play equipment, - explains the expert of the ANO Judicial Expert Kirill Kravchenko. - What they bring is, roughly speaking, a computer with a monitor in an anti-vandal box. And it has software on it that connects to the server that hosts the main program. Accordingly, when the terminals are seized, the connection to the server is interrupted. "
It turns out that the casino itself is located on a remote computer, somewhere “in the cloud,” and slot machines are not machines at all, but just screens and terminals.
According to the expert, the police should not confiscate the terminals, but the server, or involve an expert at the stage of confiscation. “Then the expert would be able to fix the fact that there is a random number generator and a connection to the server using the control operation method,” says Kravchenko.
According to him, after the ban on gambling activities, such establishments were disguised as lotteries. “When this activity was shut down, they began to’ mow ’for the banking sector, the game in the stock market. But the visualization is still very crude. There is no logic in this, ”the expert says.
