Today when I had my break between my sessions I logged into my PS account and I saw that I can't play any real money game anymore. Pokerstars has closed all the accounts in my country Iran, and they have done it
without any prior notification.
I heard that this has happened to some other countries like Malaysia, and my guess is all Islamic countries.
This action by Pokerstars was not legitimate. Players FPPs are frozen and they can't turn it into money anymore. The stellar awards they were chasing are left undone.
I hope Pokerstars have a good answer for doing this without any prior notification. I was not expecting something like this from the most professional poker site in the world. It is not fair!
I'll post the sudden full message in my news page :
Our management team regularly reviews our operation along with independent 3rd party professionals to assess the business risk and opportunities for our brand on a market-by-market basis. Following our most recent review, it was determined that we would no longer offer real money games in your country.
I am waiting for the response from a Pokerstars representative here.
Regards
