Party only has a limited list of countries it will now accept rake from, and unfortunately for alien bots, "Mars" is not on that list. As their revenues continue to plummet, they will be forced to consider expanding into Uranus.

Belarus is a lot nicer than most people on here would believe, it is not that poor country.

I have friends in Belarus, and the poker community is alive and well there, however nobody actually cares as the people winning the money are looked favorably amongst anyone who would care, and even if they did, some money would probably make your problems go away.

As for the Ukraine, cash game poker is 100% illegal, and it is not a debate. Poker clubs that have tournaments are the grey area and this is still an issue up for debate. However, as a company, I would not service the Ukraine. (And yes, it is "the" Ukraine, as that is the official transcription for Украина/Україна when you transcribe it to languages containing indefinite articles.)

A fun fact of Ukrainian history (no articles when you use a demonym in this context) is that President Yushchenko actually played PartyPoker during the beginning of his term as president. This was never publicly reported to my knowledge, but it is a fun fact of those who knew him. No wonder the Orange Revolution failed...

I'm not sure of his username. However, but I can tell you that Kafelnikov used to play party as Kafelnikov, and nobody guessed it was him.
The they're doing this for legal reasons. Hmmm. Germany? Russia? For that matter you could just start listing off losing countries from the previously proffered list. There's no country in this world that wants untaxed to marginally taxed offshore companies siphoning billions of dollars away from their nation in a 0 productivity enterprise. If the sites are going to be proactive in terms of the law then they may as well shut down any site that's not segregated and paying 30% of their gross to the country in question.
