Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Russia?

Only in your dreams

RIO wouldn't have translated videos into Russian recently if they'd been unsure if their poker site would be able to operate here.

(However, the August 3 email reminding about the Russian localisation of RIO training was written in hilariously poor Russian )

Owwwww yeah got "selected" for Tuesday's beta-testing

Really looking forward for it, but it's only 3 hours (18:00 -> 21:00) of testing so I hope there won't be much technical or deposit problems, otherwise it will be a very short experience

Managed to get selected allso. I assume neteller / skrill works?

I did deposit with skrill on last beta so that definetely works.

Thx.

what other options you got to deposit for beta? will be in the testing on tuesday

My major concern is security. Like how easy is it gonna be for people to hack accounts etc.

Someone hacked my stars account and I was forced to use a security pin.

They hacked your computer, and stole the PS password.

See you tomorrow for the beta!

Our deposit options vary based on country. You should have an email from us with download instructions. If you download the client, create an account, and head to the cashier, you'll be able to see the options available in your country.

Good luck!

You can get a head start on downloading and depositing before the window opens. Good luck!

does anyone know if RIO accepts players from any unregulated country where Stars does NOT accept players?

As per RIO's t&c:

“Games for real money shall only be available to players residing (and physically located) in a jurisdiction which does not prohibit the offering of such games by persons licensed in Malta.”
