China is banning online poker, according to information from the pokerdicas website in Brazil. The Chinese government announced that as of June 2018, poker sites and applications have not been banned forever.
The movement is also linked to live tournaments, while making it harder for event planners to know that the most consistent times in the world are always set on machines.
A measure of the Chinese government will be a currency of your gambling money. In my opinion, the country has to pay poker completely, because no fictitious game like the little game has learned a poker, and as an interesting game in the game.

Wow imagine a world without poker. If we keep letting Govt's ban these games online they might disappear forever. Poker is the first real card game most would learn right? Snap doesn't count :D

Interesting

This is interesting. It would be worth knowing the reasons for China banning all online poker.

I know that the Chinese are heavy investors in financial markets and it is very popular for individuals to become personal investors in products rather than thinking in terms of a pension!

This obviously has its pitfalls as much as its positives.

Perhaps its because they want to attract the publics money into different investments opportunities so that the government can make a profit!

How do You get rich in play money games ????

Poker for money was already illegal in China. This law bans play-money games
and the promotion of poker via social networks.

I don't think this will really have an effect on the tournament scene. If people can't
find out about poker events on social media they will switch to an other way of staying
up to date with what is going on... It's not so hard to join a mailing list....

Just another example of a government completely over-estimating it's power to patronize people....

I can not believe countrys have the right ot ban online poker what is the point of having a screening process and saying yes im over 18 and capable of making my own rational decisions if you are just going to take them away we are not children in a lolly shop who are out of control, if online poker is banned why not ban all forms of gambling in aus?

Are they implementing some sort of glasses or something you wear, in China, similar to that Black Mirror episode, that tracks what you do and it is some sort of points system that will affect whether you can get a loan, rent an apartment, take a plane, etc.. Or is this just conspiracy stuff I've been hearing on YouTube?

The Poker does not make sense for Vatican City.
Cuba and North Korea are communists and live dictatorship.
Afghanistan, Rwanda, Kenya, Syria, Zimbabwe live in misery, so to the poker world are not important.
Now it would be interesting to have at the tables the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and other countries that are rich and are not in misery and wars.

Maybe they want just to eliminate the foreign poker rooms and make players use their own new poker rooms , I see that many twitch streamers starts using Chinese and Asian poker rooms .

By being a communist nation, it is possible for the Chinese government to create a government room for gaming. But without the connection to the world it will be little busy.

This is their law regarding to unsanctioned gambling: “Article 303: Whoever, for the purpose of profit, gathers people to engage in gambling, runs a gambling house or makes gambling his profession shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance and shall also be fined.”


In Hong Kong and Macau gambling is allowed. Also they have a Chinese state-sponsored lottery, which according to them is not gambling. So they have a tolerance policy and are using double standards, kinda like marijuana laws in some countries. We can expect a lot of changes going back and forth.

The state must understand that games can be taxed. Those who participate in online games on the internet in other countries have an obligation to pay taxes. It is possible to unite countries and poker.

Even the United States being the most open nation in the world, full of immigrants, has in the past barred pokerstars from operating inside.

On the other hand in certain nations there are studies to create their own poker stalls, which will work as lotteries. See that every country has its lottery.
