Where and how can I organize cyber tournaments with a cash contribution and payouts?

Question

Law in IT

My knowledge is modest, or rather, completely absent, I'll tell you how it is
.
This presentation of information looks like gambling, which is prohibited in Russia and many other countries.
At the moment I see only one solution:
1) Form an LLC
2) Host a website in a country where gambling is allowed.
3) Buy a license for 500,000 rubles.
Questions:
1) Are tournaments and casinos equivalent concepts for legislation, or are there discrepancies?
2) Do I understand correctly that if the entrance to the tournament is free, then this is no longer excitement?
3) There is a site goodgame.ruwhere something similar has already been implemented, as far as I understand, they work according to the scheme from the second paragraph.
4) Tell me in general whether it is possible and how difficult it is to implement, about the risks and consequences if there are errors ..

Answer 1

some bullshit to be honest. What does excitement and other nonsense have to do with it. a gaming tournament tests the skill in a given discipline. contributions are legitimate. as the firm bears the cost of the tournament. part of the contributions can be used for a prize. but here comes the problem. recruit and organize such a number of fights ... so that the main prize looks decent (due to the number of players) ... stupidly unrealistic. besides, I noticed your style of speech. I wouldn't give you a cent)

Answer 2

The topic has already been discussed . Is an esports tournament gambling?
I would like to read the comments on the answer of the user k1b0rg
Running and jumping are not gambling until they take money (bet) for participation and do not give out prizes (winning).

Answer 3

It's easier to organize something like this online. We have a lot of gambling enthusiasts. I often play Vulcan slot machines myself http://vulcanplatinum.com/igrovye-avtomaty-vulkan/ . I like it for simplicity and intrigue. Although I have no idea how to organize competitions on them.
