Dear stables. Today our ambassadors were at the round table. I will only communicate with Vea and Tio (Artem Vezhenkov and Gleb Tremzin, famous russian regs, both have running stables) from now on.
You don't understand normal language. You are listening to the wonderful Nikitin (Sergey Nikitin, person with a questionable reputation, had few notable beefs).
Fine. There will be no more negotiations. Good luck. go straight to 2+2. Fiat lab (russian stable) you will now be banned from playing on GG. Goodbye. You decided to play games with me. Felt strong. GG has always been only for amateurs. Good luck to you in your struggle. And don’t think about offering me any shares and this is crap. Everything was told to you clearly today, you are no longer welcome here. I've been wanting to sort out online stables for a long time. This is just the beginning. I also sincerely apologize to ordinary players who will be affected by all this. Our efficiency is 80%. stables think they are smarter than everyone else. Fine. Do you think I need money? OK. You think I’m a nobody and weak because I treated you kindly and talked to you. Stables are prohibited from playing poker, period. Take the money and get out. If you come back, we will find you and the measures will be stricter. And most importantly, I would not advise you to run to other rooms on the network. And then you will get what you deserve. I kept thinking you were businessmen. That we can find common ground and let the stable graduates play for fun. As discussed at the meeting today. But you don’t hear a normal approach and concern for the regulars who will suffer. Ok, I heard you very well. Let Inner or Minthon, Vea or Gleb(Ti0) lay out the entire ultimatum and position. FunFarm(one of the biggest russian speaking stables) next.

First of all, we emphasize that our position is known and agreed with the GGPoker network. The leadership fully supports our stance.
Let's move on to our requirements. The activity of stables on PokerOK and GGPoker will be stopped completely. This applies to both the game and any marketing manifestations: advertising of stables from streamers who cooperate with PokerOK, promotion on social networks, advertising in the media, publications about the successes and winnings of your players. You must not play on PokerOK and must not advertise training, playing or backing on PokerOK (Telegram is considered your personal channel)
You must publicly declare that you understand and accept the position of our room and our network and leave the sites. The text of the application must be agreed upon with our representative.
If any of your players express a desire to cease cooperation with the stable, leave the stable and never work with any stable again, we agree to reconsider our restrictive measures. Let us emphasize: this applies only to those players who permanently cease cooperation with the stable. If we learn that this player continues to participate in the stable (whether from any public sources or using our analytics tools), the most stringent measures will be taken against him

You should understand that our decision to fight stables was made solely to protect the interests of poker fans. We are interested in maintaining our strategy in the gaming community, promoting poker and supporting the right to equality and the right to win for all players. We do not want our restrictions to affect regulars and players who are not members of the stables. We don't want to ruin your students' “poker dream” and the opportunity to make money from poker. Therefore, you will have to give us lists of those players who are leaving or have graduated from the stables who want to play honestly on our site. We do not want restrictions to affect players who do not cooperate with the stables, so we will remove the restrictions from them and from your graduates. We will support players who love and appreciate PokerOK, who want to win rings and bracelets, who are ready to sign that they play fairly. If they come from stables, we will be happy to continue cooperation with them at the media level (for example: commenting on major series). This also applies to stable owners. We believe that we preach one goal - the development of poker, so we will continue to cooperate in the name of popularizing the discipline. We have no need to develop conflict.
To summarize. Stables have to leave PokerOK and GG, publicly announce their agreement with the position and their departure from PokerOK and GG, and stop all media activities related to PokerOK and GG, coordinating your posts with our representative. PokerOK, in turn, is ready to remove limits from players who stop participating in the stables. If these players are found to be continuing to collaborate with the stables, we will take immediate action against these players. This was at the round table today. two stables took care of their players. The rest automatically refused without coming. Tio, Vea Minton and Inner are witnesses.

I would also like to mention that just recently PokerOK for some reason decided to increase withdrawal fee for Luxon from 1 to 3% while GGnetwork had not idea about it.
