Horrible gift for the New year for Russian poker players

[wuffeli]

Wow, this is sooo bad. Seriously. I do not know if I continue learning poker anymore. I wonder how much of my profit comes from Russia, this is so sick. What next? brazil?

 

[Dim4ik555]

Bad news for Russian players and poker room. Perhaps this somehow can be circumvented.

 

[Ebsonip]

Then the next goes to Brazil. Thank goodness we're going to change the corrupt government here.

 

[YoSoyMarce]

Yeah, Brazil is actually going to block online poker offshores. This truly is the end of online poker, thank you all for great conversations [emoji4] May we meet in new hobbies!

I think nothing stashnogo will happen, I make bets on banned in Russia bookmakers offices, and make transfers, in the Internet space there are always loopholes.

I am very happy for the lucky Russian fish that will no longer be able to play and very sad for the Russian sharks that will no longer be able to grind

This is really very bad. If Russia gets everything under control, then other countries will follow this path.

 

[Amdrius]

Such a feeling that the State Duma has nothing more to do, there are no more important issues than banning gambling. Very sorry. It is even more unfortunate that soon the same laws will come to Belarus (.

Just awful tendency.

Badly. Many fishes will disappear

While the Russian poker players are beginning to prepare for the new year holidays, Russian lawmakers have prepared a gift for them. Last week the Federation Council approved a law banning on funds transfers, including electronic money, in the bookmaker, lotteries and other gambling, if they are unlawfully on the territory of the Russian Federation.
The new law comes into force on 1 January 2018.
Poker in Russia is recognized as gambling. Consequently, the legislative changes will affect Russian poker players.
I have a feeling that online poker will soon be closed in Russia. I would not like this.

That is terrible.I dont know but the way to still play poker is to create a bank card in some another country.May be this is a decision.

Want to get rid of fish ?

 

[ChrisDavidson]

I really hope that poker in Russia will not be closed. But with the rest of the gambling I can agree. There are a lot of illegal casinos in Russia

 

[Daniel72]

Not good news.
You still have CHESS in Russia, but in chess is no money.

 

[trippin]

Hate the fact gov can butt in on what "I" wish to do. On the other note, was never a fan of playing against people over seas/countries . If they just create a site dedicated to a country/state, whats the big problem??

Govs hate drugs... obviously the war on that has failed.

I'm from Russia, and this news has upset me, but I'm sure for 100% that there is a way to play poker, so I advise you not to worry much about it

Have you noticed that in Russia on TV advertising is pokerstars.net there where no games for money. I think it's weird. We all will see and know from 1st Jan.

 

[Andrei Nesterenko1]

it seems strange to me that in Russia poker is banned for money, but at the same time, Pokerstars is hosting a festival in Sochi) I wonder how it is?

I guess it's entertainment for officials and a great way to fill their pockets with money, and it's a complete puzzle to us.

 

[Andrei Nesterenko1]

totally agree with you)

 

[Helloween]

The most interesting thing is that in Russia they continue to issue licenses for slots in online casinos. I wonder if all existing casinos will be shut down, or if the law is being drafted again only in the interests of the government? Those stupid.

 

[VITOS]

Anyone the citizen of Russia can quietly play online on the Internet. At the same time income is gained by foreign operators, but the Russian budget receives nothing. Therefore, legalization of online poker in Russia with personal verification of full age players, licensing of online operators and control of receipt of taxes in the budget will not damage to anybody. Such offers are formulated by League of fans of poker. The concept of state regulation of a game in poker on the Internet is discussed in the Government of the Russian Federation.

One more big loss to online poker, that's so sad

 

[tihomir_kula]

poker sites should be registered and responding to the lows ,not illigal and then the problems will be solved.For examp. poker stars has a license in Bulgaria and there are not problems with gambling comission.
