Your opinion of what to prepare for..tips for payment systems pokerstars ready to face the challenges in Russia: a new law banning transaction May 26 in Russia will come into force a new law that will complicate the lives of poker players. It prohibits banks and payment systems from conducting transactions between individuals and illegal gambling operators. This means that the player will not be able to make a Deposit in the poker room or make a cash out. On Wednesday, PokerStars Group CEO told investors that they are preparing for the negative consequences of the introduction of this law and even allow possible financial blocking of the Russian market. In the near future, PokerStars Players and other major poker rooms may face the problem of inability to withdraw their money from game accounts to Russian banks and popular payment systems. Let's figure out what all this means and what it can lead to. What the law restricts transactions in the poker rooms? The prohibition of transfer set out in the Federal law No. 244-FZ of December 29, 2006. Amendments are made to the bill № 358-FZ, which was adopted by the state Duma in the third reading on November 15, 2017. Changes to the prohibition of transactions come into force on may 26, 2018. The law obligates banks, payment systems and credit institutions to restrict transfers involving persons engaged in gambling in violation of the laws of the Russian Federation. Recall that the activity of poker rooms is prohibited in Russia, and the sites of these companies are blocked by Roskomnadzor. How will this law work? Poker rooms and other gaming companies will be placed in a special black list. They will be dealt with by the Federal tax service (FTS). These lists will be updated. Banks and payment systems will be required to block transfers involving organizations from the list. What can it lead to? If PokerStars or any other room appears in the List, you will not be able to make deposits to the room and withdraw winnings through the cards of Russian banks, as well as through popular payment systems in Russia. Poker lovers in Russia use mainly these methods for transfers to poker rooms. This means that if the law is actually enforced, the traffic of new players from Russia to online poker will fall significantly. Sberbank sometimes blocks cashouts of players from poker rooms. Will it get worse? Yes. Now Sberbank and other large Russian banks sometimes freeze transfers from poker rooms to players ' accounts. Usually a written or oral explanation is enough that it is a poker win to access the money. But after may 26, everything can change. Under the new law, such transfers should be blocked, and honest recognition is unlikely to help you gain access to funds. Is it possible to get around the restriction? Possible. The Russian authorities are unable to block the translation of foreign payment systems and banks. Regulators are familiar with these methods, but fans and new players will have difficulties. Tip: after may 26, 2018, do not withdraw to Bank accounts and payment systems Webmoney, Qiwi, Yandex.Money big winnings entirely. Either in small parts (if there are no other options, at least reduce the risks), or on other payment systems — skrill, neteller, EcoPayz or Bitcoin with other cryptocurrencies. That can be done poker sites? Russia is a big market, so large poker rooms are already being prepared. We can only speculate by analyzing the circumvention of such locks in other countries. For example, in the United States. Transfers through intermediaries. When the US authorities banned transactions between players and gambling companies, the top rooms found a way out. Daniel Tsvetov has developed a scheme that allows leading rooms (Pokerstars, Full Tilt and Absolute\UB) to receive and make transfers to clients through intermediary firms. Ie players have deposited on PokerStars, and another company, which then transferred the money Starsem. Also worked with cashouts. This scheme has a number of flaws-poker-rum will have to follow the blacklist and change intermediaries. At the same time in the USA Tsvetkov was condemned and received real term for “illegal money laundering”. Transfers through bitcoin. That's how you play PokerKing Americans and Canadians. A list of poker rooms that accepts bitcoin expands. Now PokerStars does not accept transfers in bitcoins due to legal risks of losing a license in some countries, but Russia is a big market and can make an exception for it. This is only part of the methods that have already been tested in other countries. Why did the authorities decide to block transactions in poker rooms? Because Roskomnadzor's prohibitions are not effective enough. Poker room and casino sites are blocked, but continue to operate on regularly replaceable mirrors. If desired, anyone can download the client, just perebrav sites on demand “download PokerStars” in Google. And that's not to mention VPN. Article is taken with site pokeroff.ru
