China Banning Poker

[Shrops]

China Ban

That news doesn't surprise me. Maybe they will come around in the future. It would be nice to have all the poker players in China playing poker.

The poker sites could be more expert and offer regional games to certain countries, so only the people of that country can play each other at the tables.
And in this the sites should pass on to the states part of the taxes generated at the tables.
It would make countries like China rethink their ideology of ending up with online poker.

Hehchina is banning everything what exist,first bitcoin then poker.

 

[M13A13]

Bitcoin, I agree with China's end bitcoin, because as you can trust an investment that does not have any money as a guarantee of credit, it is not a bond issued by the Government, and some exchange reserve is indexed.
Poker is not an investment, it is a game where you can lose or win.
You can be sure these bitcoin will still destroy the financial system.

I think instead of banning us, china and any other country should make the poker sites so that they are taxed, well maintained, honest, and the money does not always get sent out of the countries. The money/economy lose is I'm sure the issue so with such a big opportunity why not allow poker the way it should be.

 

[MrGrace]

Just think of all the players if it was legal and supported you countries like it should. Everyone would win

 

[M13A13]

I fully agree, the countries themselves should have their poker sites. This would make it easier to collect taxes and enforce game honesty. Each country could have its gaming site, yes, but players from other countries could also have access to your site.

 

[bkniefel]

Great point on countries having their owns sites. I really like that idea and it would transform the industry and allow for governments oversight in the matter of taxes. The government could make so much money. Great thinking!

 

[M13A13]

It would, but not necessarily the system be theirs, could also have an agreement with the existing sites, for development and administration of the exclusive games of the countries. Even as you know China wants to end the fun, other countries may also want to do the same thing, so you have to negotiate.

im not sure if the people there follow their rules.. i still see a lot of chinese play poker online and live.

 

[M13A13]

I care that the Chinese can not play poker online, because poker is a community game, it needs people

 

[shadow72]

I wouldn't trust a poker site run by a communist government one bit. uke:

Also, you have to realize that communist government policies are made by a dozen, or so, aging men who have no realistic outlook on life. They live such a sheltered life and are fed information that most of the time is warped or downright false, and this is what they base their decisions on.

 

[M13A13]

In addition, China is Communist is also authoritarian.

 

[Pugaddict01]

A lot of countries are banning the ART of poker now

 

[LeX72rus]

I think this is the right decision

 

[44rtie]

keep facebook banned too and all slots illegal!

 

[djoepadilha]

omg, Chinese government may not have gotten to that point!
last year China's decisions destabilized the cryptocurrency market, pokerstars for example are investing in Asia and this will certainly influence this strategy of PS

[M13A13]

PokerStars' investments in Asia should further influence South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and Australia. China is very closed, if they want to end the poker they end, the Chinese people are not free to be against their government.

 

[M13A13]

Trump call president Chines to play poker.

Their gov forces people to do whatever it takes to connect to the real world

 

[pokersextreme]

I mostly see them playing in casinos meaning live. Can't say the same online.

 

[Elvin771]

[vic75]

Why ban Poker the government I think wants a piece of the action the only solution make it legal with a small tax on winnings. Everyone wins.

 

[skavenger]

What to expect from a socialist country? It is shameful in 2018 to still live on a planet where there is this semi-Nazi ideology
