PokerStars Banned Crimea

[Serjo600]

Yesturday 23.11.19 pokerstars closed acconts Crimean Pokerists.
support explains this by the fact that it is connected with the current legislation. I think this is due to the fact that yesterday opened the railway direction on the Crimean bridge. And the question has political implications. What do you think about it?

 

[millya5]

I think these problems are not connected with the railway bridge in any way
But unfortunately there is a political subtext

 

[Serjo600]

Who that think about this situation???

I think Crimeans don't understand what are connecting to Russia mean. This is political wars. Ordinary citizens should not suffer from its consequences. On another way , they themselves wanted it!

 

[kraemer]

they also banned germans....

seems like the EU is finally trying to inforce their laws cooncerning gambling instead of letting us play....

 

[Vallet]

Players from Russia and Ukraine quietly use PokerStars. Maybe over time, Crimea will return the opportunity to play. It looks very strange now.

My opinion

That interesting you brought the virtual poker world to real life through a train expedition. I think Crimea was going to start to lose and these were addicted. If these play they can't take the money and run.

888 banned Germans? I see German players on right now

Very strange policy (Russia invaded Crimea) but sanctions are imposed against the Crimean people! It can more easily simulate sanctions on a small peninsula than lose money against Russia!

This is questing not about poker only. It's about lifestyle. Crimeans takes many problems with connecting to Russia. For Russian president it's only business. I'm praying for people who can't understood it.

Lock associated with the European legislation in Russia than here? You can not even play on conditional chips, only the cash register works. until recently I did not switch to PokerStars Sochi and even in this client access is closed this applies to all Crimeans with Crimean registration regardless of the Ukrainian account or Russian

 

[Vallet]

Is it possible to withdraw the money won from the account after the ban ?

 

[TulasMoreno]

Something like that happened in colombia a few months ago, such a bad new.

cuz crimea is ukraine! :aetsch:

 

[akgross]

Time will pass and everything will turn for the better. Crimea has always been at the center of contention since historical times. He will return to Ukraine and then PS will return. )))

 

[vittopio]

I do not want to return to Ukraine and even more live in Russia! I want to Crimea was a separate state! And Stars with their chests let them go to the forest!

 

[dopustim]

Politics is politics.Crimea is Russian.

 

[deform fedot]

in other words, pokerstars separates Crimea from mainland Ukraine with certain sanctions.

 

[koisug]

I think it's just a mess. Poker, like any sport, should not be in politics! This is very very sad, I think PokerStars should be ashamed of it
