After partypoker, pokerstars and Betsson group left Serbian market in 2019 and 2020, respectively, I have wondered who is going to be the next one to leave...
...and the answer is william hill...
I was absent from WH for few months and yesterday when I tried to log in to my account to play at CC freeroll I have received a notification from my provider
"Access to this page is disabled. The law prohibits the participation in games of chance organized by unauthorized persons through electronic means of communication. Authorized organizers of games of chance through electronic means of communication are the State Lottery of Serbia and persons who have the approval of the Ministry of Finance."
I checked it in WHs GT&C and found that "1.1 By opening an account with William Hill (“Account”) you confirm that:1.1.4 you are not a resident or located in any of the following countries: Afghanistan, Australia, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Burma, Cote D'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Cuba, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iran, Iraq, Liberia, Libya, North Korea, Serbia, Sudan, Syria, USA, Zimbabwe or any other country, territory and/or jurisdiction where your use of the services would be illegal;

An unpleasant surprise....but what can we do...I wish goodbye to William Hill from Serbia

Are there even any licensed online poker rooms in Serbia at the moment? Or can you basically only play in your state lottery?

we are still eligible to play at 888 and GG network, and maybe some minor rooms
