Keep in mind all these limitations are not of Amaya's doing, it's 100% from governments. All poker site operators can do is lobby for change.
Lol. You think I don't understand that this is because of the govermnents? I just want to say IF pokerstars want to reunite them all again they WILL do it. It's not that hard. They have their market in Spain, Italy, France etc but can't bring them back to play with all. If they put all their effort which they spend for rake increase, changing structures and payouts and other stuff then we could have our friends from those countries here again. We have 120000-130000 players at peak time now. Yeah, pokerstars is the biggest poker room etc etc, but I'm talking about that we have less and less people year by year and I don't know what are they doing for getting them back. All I can see is these amazing changes (was mentioned many times in this thread).
