So apparently you have not checked out pokerstars? According to Pokerscout cash game volume on PokerStars is 6-7 times higher than on partypoker, and it would be very weird, if the distribution of SnG volume was much different.
I mean i dont really play sit and goes there because i hate their software but the last few times i checked everything above 2 dollar sng's seemed to be dead there or at least u have to wait forever for them to fill up.
Actually it wouldn't be weird at all. Partypoker still offers DoNs & they also offer a Leaderboard which just on that alone (& higher rakeback deals), the regs. in the Low buyin LB's are pulling in an extra $500+ per week. I don't think that's possible on Stars today.

Yes, it is indeed true. In the near future, the accounts of Ukrainian players will be blocked. I received a letter from them warning that my account will be blocked by the end of this month. In addition to Ukraine, the accounts of players from argentina, Bolivia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan will be blocked.
ACR also has a SnG leaderboard, but even so SnGs on ACR are completely dead except during peak hours, which is the american evening time. If you play at any other time, you need to wait a long time to even get a few 5$ games running. Its possible, there is still decent SnG action on PartyPoker during peak hours. But I dont want to play only during peak hours, and when they kick out a significant portion of their current customers, for sure volume will decline even further. Finally I am not egligible for any sort of leaderboard or rakeback or whatever, because I live in sweden. So for me this makes no difference at all.
Everything I wrote is fact. Not just random numbers I've come up with (actually some of the numbers are less than what they actually might be).
Exactly what I would expect from a site with so few players.
So basically hearsay, since you are not playing these games yourself.
It is, and leaving so many markets will surely increase the speed of decline for PartyPoker.
They are but unfortunately I am not allowed to play there. GG also dont offer any kind of SnGs but only Spins and other sorts of gambling formats.
Which parts of my post(s) could you not understand? (do you know what heresay is?)
Maybe it was rude calling information from your friend "hearsay", and it was not my intention to turn this into some sort of big argument. However you stated, that SnG activity on PartyPoker is "larger than anywhere else you checked", but as my small check show, SnGs on PartyPoker basically dont even run at certain times of day, whereas on PokerStars there is 24 hour activity. Logged onto the PartyPoker lobby again this morning, and during the 5 minutes or so I watched, not a single player registered for a 5$ SnG.
Yes, unfortunately, players from Ukraine will be blocked at the end of this month. In addition, considering that a large number of players from other countries are also already blocked, I think that this site will cease its activity altogether in the near future or we will face some kind of rebranding.
Only time will tell about this. But as someone else said, its not like, anybody are going to give them a medal of honour for leaving markets like austria, Argentina and Ukraine, where other sites still operate. So its difficult to see, what upside there is to this for either players or site owners.
ACR fly in and don't deny yourself anything) I've already made $5200 at freerolls and there's still a lot of money there), and PatyPoker was once interesting, now I don't mind at all
