Do you have any 'news' links to support the claim?

Unfortunately we don't have any news right now. The main web portal of Belarus -Tut.by was closed a few days ago. There are hundreds of political prisoners right now, including journalists, politicians and ordinary people... A lot of bad things are happening.

Hopefully, the news is coming soon. Sorry

No, this is because our government wants PokerStars and other platforms to pay fees in order to operate in Belarus. This is how they usually make money... extra fees, fines, confiscations at customs, taking someone else's business...

You sure you aren't the only one experiencing this "problem" ...
Like mentioned above other belarussians didn't seem to have same difficulties entering these sites yesterday and today ...

Everything is possible, Risto234. I need more time to figure out what is going on. But it looks like a serious problem because the main poker web sites are down in Belarus and therefore new players will not be able to download online poker cardrooms.

The best way to find out is to contact support. Maybe you just have a software glitch:)

Sad news, Cardschaters.

I have failed to open poker web sites in my browser.
Pokerstars, 888 Poker, Unibet poker... are now down in Belarus.
Looks like Belarusian players will not be able to play poker online anymore.

Hey Pavel.
I saw many players from Belarus on Pokerstars today. Maybe if you use some kind of VPN you'll be able to get around whatever is blocking your access. Good luck man.

Pavel i have installed sec vpn on my mobile and now i am able to log in on my williamshill poker account which is banned here in croatia, so try to do so and then choose maybe vpn from germany and continue to play.
On my computer I use TOR browser to download latest updates for 888- this browser also hiding my ipn adress, so I'm able to do it- in googke chrome always sending me on Croatian government tax page.

How can the government block playing at pokerstars? You have the client installed on your desktop correctly!When you open the client, the download is in progress?I don't understand how the blocking occurs

Germany is not really good choice for VPN because some poker rooms and events are not available in Germany, there are a lot of issues there due some new laws. That#s why I would suggest any other country for VPN

Maybe use a VPN with Russian or other countries IP and log in again, your ISP will not detect you.

there is one unpleasant moment, pokerstars can block the account when using VPN (if only it is detected) .
however, it can be used on 888 Poker party poker.

a couple of weeks ago I read the news that they want to hold a series of offline poker in Minsk, but after the incident with the plane it will probably be canceled.

I am not surprised. Lukashenka is a pretty tough dictator.

I would not recommend using a vpn because if it is not allowed in your own country to play on one of the online poker sites then it is forbidden for the poker sites to accept such people. You may even be banned from the site for attempting to cheat. I don't even know how to do it with vpn because you have to verify yourself and then they'll see where you're from.
