Everything works and worked for me !! there was an update on 888 and PS everything works !!! I read somewhere. that there will be changes from July 1 !!! a new presidential decree on gambling will enter into force ...VPN will help us !!! The authorities block many information sites!
The Ministry of Information confirmed the blocking in Belarus. Indeed, such a decision was made, the tax authorities of the Republic of Belarus applied to the Ministry with a corresponding petition in connection with the violation of the legislation of the Republic of Belarus on gambling. Said First Deputy Minister Andrei Kuntsevich during a direct line....

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...

But this can be done very easy, in Romania, we had the same situation, but the gamblings was regulated very good, we can play on international playerpool, if the sites obtain the licence in our country.


888, Pokerstars, unibet, have the licence, and we can play legal on these sites together with players from other countries. This has been done almost 5 years ago.


When we withdraw money, the taxes are automatically retained from the withdraw, and the rest of the money goes into players bank account.

Taxes legislations are very good, for any withdrawal less than 15 thousand euros (15000 E) , the tax retained is just 1%.

For example, if I withdraw 100$, than 99$ goes into the bank account, 1$ remain on the pokersite and they pay the tax for me.

All that is needed is a little will from the shitty politicians that make the laws.

All very regrettable if what you say is confirmed!
Here in argentina, where poker is not yet regulated, although there are some sites blocked by court decision, in most of them you can play. These decisions by politicians are deplorable, who without having a clue about poker, equate it to casino games. In addition to the need to keep taking money from people to put it in their pockets.

This ^^

I knew I had seen a few Belarussians playing in the Daily PokerStars Freeroll and had mentioned it earlier on in this thread. So, you have had no issues so far, Kasyako?

i am so sorry to hear that. It is the same for Turkey... you can try PokerKing. it allows players from Turkey, maybe they accept players from Belarus too. It uses the same network that Americas Cardroom use. You can play on SportsBetting too maybe.. try the both. But it is really sad for poker lovers that live in a country where Pokerstars is restricted. And last more thing, maybe you can still play there using a VPN if your account is approved. I think you must contact customer service and ask them if you can still make a deposit and withdrawal. If they say yes, then no problem, just a vpn will solve your problem. Good Luck

the fence that people have over sanctions against a country or a government of a country is a big problem ... it is increasingly difficult for citizens, like us Venezuelans who have closed many virtual wallet accounts, and of many pages, because a government is being sanctioned and we all suffer, I think this should change, because in the end they affect the same companies, commerce as well as citizens, and authoritarian regimes or governments that are outside the international norm always They seek to avoid these sanctions what we suffer are the people

They want to sanction some governments that are outside the democratic norm, some abuse, others are authoritarian, others of a dictatorial nature, others because they do not follow the line of the European Union and the United States and are sanctioned for any of these things; But the sanctions reach the lowest level and affect citizens, we have had to close our electronic wallets, our bank accounts, our shares, we cannot buy, we cannot sell, nor access to internet pages, applications, businesses, a fun page ... and the governments to whom these actions are taken simply look for a way to avoid them, because there are always other countries with whom they do business, there is a parallel market of sanctioned governments, there is a black market to which only these sanctioned governments can access, but citizens are increasingly affected

Very bad news, I sympathize with the players from Belarus. I can only advise you to try to log in via vpn, at least to withdraw the money that the players have.

How long ago everything was banned here and we are not giving up, we are looking for new detours). I think the solution to all problems will be VPN

Well this is just yet another reason for people to leave belarus. Lukachenko seems to want to make the decision as easy as possible for people.

What unpleasant news ,, when the game of poker is to make friends, and with patience and dedication dollars ,,, I dislike knowing that my friends from Belarus cannot compete or participate in the game, they apologize for some misspelling, , patience, you will find the way to play poker ,,, narrow roads are the ones that lead you to triumph ,,, one day do not stand up to another ,, positive friends, we will see you at the tables and we will share a pleasant gaming session ,, Greetings, comrades of poker ,,,

If true, the news would be very painful for the players of that country.
I hope it is resolved soon
