Partypoker has been blocked in Latvia for 2 years already. But this is not a problem. I turned on VPN and downloaded and play.

Can you collect funds doing this? I would be nervous about it.

There are no problems with other poker organizations these days. I think in any situation a solution can be found.

Well, if you can't play at partypoker in my country, but since I never got to play there, it doesn't bother me, but I imagine there will be many players who wouldn't like it being banned in our country, because I know some who did play a lot there

Hey partypoker made a weird Management decision...
They will no longer offer Poker for Austrian players but they will still offer Casino and bets?
This makes no sense at all...
Technically only win2day.at has a vaild license for poker and gambling.
So I wonder why they aren't stopping all the services... If someone sues and wants his online gambling losses back, they have to pay.
Pokerstars actually was forced by our OGH (highest jurisdictional instance ) to refund over 1,2 million€ in 2021 because they only have a license in Malta..

I sencerley hope Pokerstars won't make the same decision ...

perhaps this is due to the very high tax on online gambling in your country, and why they have not closed bets and casinos, there is an explanation for this-they can still generate income, unlike poker, because the lion's share of all poker rooms are bets and casinos and not poker

Yes this might very well be true ! Good insight.
Guess they don't have the money like Pokerstars has

My guess was/is that they also had to pay back losses like many sites had to do like bwin and mr green and decided it's not worth the effort anymore

they certainly don't have such money as the PS, but according to the growth rate in 2020, this site showed good growth, more than the PS and it seems in 2021 they also had no problems with growth, another circumstance rather plays a role here, for example, the site sees that in france and Spain they have growth and there is a decline in online poker in austria, in any case, they must have very good reasons to close online poker in a certain country, sometimes it defies logic, I think they will fix it

The whole Situation is a bit ridiculous.
Monopolies are against our constitution but the state has a monopoly on gambling nethertheless..
But nobody wants to sue the state.
If I was a millionaire i would go to the last judicial instance...

this happens everywhere, from the most backward countries to the most developed, there's nothing you can do about it, in terms of monopolies,
I don't know how independent your courts are, but when you become a millionaire, you won't be up to it to sue the state:)

Our courts are very independent.
Politics would have never allowed same Sex registered civil partnerships cause we are governed by christian conservatives...
But one guy sued and our highest judicial instance (OGH, Oberster Gerichtshof) ruled that this would be against the principle of equality and since then they are allowed to :)

  • From 30/01/2023, you will no longer be able to play with us.
  • After 30/01/2023, you will only be able to log in and withdraw funds from your account.

Sorry to hear. :confused:

I understand your frustation. PartyPoker stopped working here for quite some time now. :(

Hopefully in the future we'll be able to play there again.

Ukraine has quiet a large amount of players on PS, and Austria could produce some players on certain levels as well. PP is definitely not rising, but we will see.

a pity that partypoker has stopped operating in ukraine and other countries, hopefully this is not the end but the beginning of a change so that all countries can one day have the opportunity to have poker rooms.

Today I received an email saying that next week, players in argentina will be no longer able to play Poker, Casino or Sports Bets in PartyPoker.
Deposits (and I guess that withdrawals too) will stop been availables from 23/01/2023.
From 30/1/2023 we won't be able to play anymore.
R.I.P.
