Why Coral ban my country?!?

[killing_random]

Take this to be in touch with situation:

Fav part

Why is Coral closing in my country?

This was a management decision.

UNDERSTANDABLE. HAVE A NICE DAY​

I wonder why this happened...
If anyone have some thoughts, I would be glad to hear it :deal:

They did not "ban" your country. They decided to no longer do business there. Which is no different from, what international companies do in all other businesses. Not every product is sold everywhere in the world. For instance we can not buy the Ford F150 pickup truck in Europe, even though its the best selling vehicle in North America for decades.

No offense, but you've chosen very poor example. Their services isn't something they have to transport physically which inevitably leads to lots of issues & expenses. I doubt that it was the problem, because I still can run the client and spectate how other people play, I just can't join them now.
If Coral simply tell that it's no longer profitable for them, that would be easy to accept and move on. But "management decision" sounds like they don't want to be honest with us.

The point fundiver is making is that they are a business and can choose where to operate and they do not have to justify why and probably do not want to get into debates with users. They have made the decision so just say a management decision which it is to avoid debating it. There are many bigger sites though. Sometimes it is to do with takes but could be many reasons.

Well, that's not only their bisiness, since they involved me too by making opportunity to play. And when I, as their business partner, get punished without any guilt, I won't find that fair, to be fair.
But "avoid debates" is a good explanation of their intention. Ty for that at least.

You are not their "business partner", you are (or rather were) their costumer. And you are not "getting punished", because they choose to no longer do business in your country. As long as they let you withdraw your balance and give you a reasonable time to use tournament ticket and other assets, there is nothing unfair about this, and nothing to be mad about.

Just because its an online business does not mean, there are no costs in operating in a certain country. They need to provide support staff, they need to manage deposits and withdrawals, and there might be legal issues in some countries, that makes it risky to operate. And to compensate for this a market need to generate a certain net revenue for the site.

But "management decision" sounds like they don't want to be honest with us.

Its not their obligation to explain their business decisions to anyone. They have competitors and might not want these competitors to look over their shoulders and understand everything, they do.

Smells kinda racist to me. Choose to no longer do business with me because of my country and nothing else. I'm costumer, ok then. Imagine one day coming to the market and get restrained from entering because of the country you from. You mister from prosperous country can pass but not you, even though there is literally nothing prevent you from entering. It's not our obligation to explain our business decisions to you. You only allowed to look though a window. Yeah totally fair and equitable.
With only explanation they gave, such as that: "your country", I can't come up with nothing but racism. It's the only available option, since there is no technical issues.

 

[fundiver199]

I seriously cant see, how a company deciding to not do business in a particular country has anything at all to do with "racism". Just move on and find another place to play poker.

 

[killing_random]

Because for Coral it requires no effort, neither technical nor financial, to keep things going. There is no existing issues. I'm still can get updates, and after my client works perfectly fine. I just not allowed to play, while others can, without any guilt from my side.
This is what is known as Discrimination. And because it has something to do with where I am from, I can assume that this is Racism in particular.
Did I make my point clear or do I need to chew it even more?

 

[killing_random]

Here is updating:



And here what I've got when click "Register" - empty window with invisible middle finger on it:


Maybe in that "Message from Coral Poker" should be some apology for the lost time and effort I've put and about to put, in order to find and adapt to a new poker-room? Or I can be treated like their waste material, a garbage, kicked around between rooms at any time, cos I don't own the damn thing?!
I'm human first of all, not just their "costomer". They should at least show some respect and send their proper apologies, if they don't want to tell us anything. We don't need their thanks for our loyalty or their fake regrets. Proper apologies won't harm their interests in any way.
Treat us as equal human beings, you're god damn bureaucrats!

 

[fundiver199]

No you did not make any point clear. You are talking utter nonsense, and you apparently have no idea, what it requires to run an online casino. Just move on with your life and find another place to play.

 

[killing_random]

Pls go on and tell me how much resources they need to make my "Register" button active.

I think it's time to stop trying to reason with this guy, he obviously doesn't understand anything about business practices, racism, or discrimination.

 

[FastOne]

Coral Poker has a really small list of available countries. I was never able to play there. I don't know why they behave this way, but they do. I can only guess there's a calculated legal reason behind these restrictions to most countries in the world.

BTW, racism makes no sense at all, really. It's not racism.

 

[killing_random]

Yeah, we don't have much discrimination and racism in our countries, forgive us for that.
What I know for sure, that the server is still running, I just lost the access to it for some top secret reason.
And you guys missing the moment that I'm, as their client, not supposed to care or know anything about their business practice. That's not my problem.
My problem is that I get into trouble because of them and don't even get proper apologies. It's not that much to ask.
Idk if some of you get used to be viewed like you are nothing, but I'm not allow anybody to treat me like that.

Take Care :icon_salu​

You do realize you are crying to a bunch of American poker players about your country not being able to play on a poker site right? You need to look up “online poker Black Friday.” I know you are all about yourself on this and don’t understand the business aspect or anything about the legal side but it’s not that they view you or in the case of Black Friday, Americans as nothing they are probably just protecting themselves one way or another.

I can play in Coral but there are a lot of sites I can no longer play in because the company took the decision not to offer their product in my country. I lost accounts on a good many sites over the years due to the new gambling regulator here and there is a cost and other obligations involved to any operator that wishes to offer service here. I can't play at intertops, BetOnline, Sportsbetting and that's just 3 sites where CC offer freerolls. There's been a lot of posts here recently regarding unibet pulling out of a lot of countries. The business decision could be to do with regulations, taxation, or simply because the market is not considered worthwhile. It's their decision at the end of the day

 

[KrazyKoo]

Coral is just skin for partypoker?

You can still play Partypoker I think... or not?

 

[Luvepoker]

I can understand the frustration. It sad and does not make anyone happy when it happens. The problem is it happens way to often to to many people. The sites I want to play on wont let us play either and it sucks for sure. All you can do is look for someplace else to play. Good luck to you mate.

 

[hohol97]

You are lucky with me it happens 3-4 years ago.

My country has also been banned by Coral poker. It’s true years ago, but it’s still missing. It was arguably my favorite poker room!
