Horrible gift for the New year for Russian poker players

Yes, there are always loopholes.

its sad when you are used to play and your government kills the pleasure. its so unfair...

Quite a few countries are set up the same way:
- politicians make laws
- some laws are tax laws
After a while quite a few realise that all you need is a few laws:
- regulating online games like poker
- regulating crypto currencies
With these laws, all games can happily continue, so the players are happy.
As the government is in control and received some money, politicians are also happy.
Sadly there are still country leader that think they:
- can control the internet
- block parts of the internet
The reports will look fantastic in the papers, but in reality it's like Don Quichote fighting windmills.

I do not see any problems, we are still playing and not worried. that's just one thing I can say, download the software to play for real money has become very difficult. in many cases, the client comes to pokerstars conditional chips

this will not be a problem, there are so many ways to bypass prohibitions with little risk!

well then the question is how in Sochi (this is the territory of the Russian Federation) are the world series of poker? where is the law and what is the law?

the same law is on slovakia almost a year but still all sites is working and players are playing
