How many countries are they now not in that they used to be:
Macedonia
China
Taiwan
Holland
Norway
Israel
Russia
USA ofc
Spain/France/Italy are fenced


Belarus imo.

Stars is really suffering these days because of the regulations and the fact they are really hard trying to make the client worse and the new and improved rb system was basically a bust. How the mighty have fallen.


40% of canada

How does GG operate in the markets PS can't? Do they ignore the regulations? Probably the best PS could do is to mirror GG's offer and bringing back the old RB system. That of course won't happen...

btw Belarus is still going strong

India has a deposit tax lol

Australia is banned too

Well, that's just annoying.
Was about to leave to Thailand anyway in the upcoming months. I guess I have to make it quicker.

Anyone else "forced" to move out?

I am thinking of moving to Slovakia lol. Or maybe I'll stay and play on ipoker heh. There is also the local SYNOT site which I've never tried but seems hella terrible. Apparently it's full of fish though.


Apparently it is full of fish but if I'm not mistaken they just doubled the rake or something like that.

I did the same in 2017, but lasted about one month in Slovakia 😃

PokerStars isn't that meaningful to Flutter. Not getting into legal trouble is pretty important to the overall business.

Holland = The Netherlands (yes, not technically)
