I'm from Ukraine.Mariupol.Yesterday I wanted to register in a pokerstars tournament, but I received a message that it is no longer possible to play for money in my region. Apparently, this is due to the war. I don’t play anywhere except pokerstars, so I’ll have to leave poker forever. Good luck to everyone.

hold on! the whole of Ukraine is with you, do not get hung up on one room, this is definitely a minus ev! try party poker, 888, gg poker
Strength of spirit to us!

Hi all
I read this thread, a lot of things seemed strange if PS closed access to games for Ukraine, and what about the Russians here? players from Ukraine, I think you can find a room to play until PS opens access, but I have no doubt that access will be open.
PS: war is grief, I wish Ukraine a peaceful sky overhead

If you were to read the original poster's initial post in this thread, you'd likely respond differently.

I still see many players from Ukraine on the tables on Pokerstars. I would imagine the numbers are much lower than usual but there are still many.

Oh wow ... ha ha. Until this war I never paid much attention to the sheer numbers of Ukrainians who play this game. In contrast, you only ever see a handful of Germans at any given time.

Then you'll be surprised to see that there were over 1,700 entries from germany in this one tournament on Pokerstars on Feb.27. That is equal to over 10% of the field!

Just like you, I am from Ukraine and with PokerStars I have not had a problem for a single day
!!! Most likely this is due to military operations near Mariupol !!! Hold on Mariupol!!!

This is so sad, and unbelievable in this day an age for this to happen, but with the crazy politics here in U.S. witnessing the corruption going on its possible. My heart goes out to the ppl lives that are in danger because of greed.

I hope you and your family are safe and well. I know one day you will be on the tables once again. I would search around for other poker sites and you might be able to find one you can still play on.

ALLl the Poker Sites should be blocking Russian and Belarus players

I have heartbreak every time I see the news about Ukraine.

Stay strong!
Hopefully your account may unfreeze at some point.

THIS is ANOTHER reason all the Poker Sites should be blocking Russian and Belarus players.

I've seen players from Ukraine on America's Cardroom and Black Chip Poker. Also try Everygame Poker , BetOnline and Sportsbetting. Praying for all of you there. God speed!

I do not like war of any kind. It kills, displaces, orphans and displaces families and children. It is unbearable. I tell you to be patient and perhaps the water will return to its course

Why should you play at PokerStars? There are many good poker rooms where I heard Ukrainian players play. Try to play there, because you have nothing to lose.
