Sure, but I'm wondering if the apps will still be available in the app store in China? Or will they be blocked? If so, then this is surely the end. The apps may now appear as "Not available in your country."

Edit: players will now have to download the APK client files online, as they will no longer be available in the app store - which makes getting into poker very inconvenient for new players imo. (https://worldpokerdeals.com/blog/chi...se-for-nothing) . Also the lack of social media advertising will bring down the traffic for sure

Why would it affect GlobalP? I'm pretty sure that only Canadians and Americans can withdrawal, so I don't see how there's a China player pool there

the problem is even if the chinese players are able to download them, they can still be blocked from accessing the server or sth like that. that's how they ban whatsapp/twitter etc

An interview with Guo Dong The Ambassador of Tencent poker on the topic :

He reconfirm that so far this ban is not offical. It was only a note passed to the big Chinese companies during a meeting with the authorities

Must have been a strongly worded note lol considering the companies that stopped.

Pokerstars just banned players from Hong Kong. I'm guessing it's related to this.
