Ahh okay, Pete, sorry didn't read your post properly.

Its impossible for them to destroy stars, they obv want to clean up house, start afresh and probably float in the future.. but first.. they have to clean up house and get their **** in good legal standing.

Then turn stars in a sports book and add all sort of other vertical x-sales to the brand, platform and players.

I dunno. I'm just speculating again.

In before Pokerstars.mu

I remember the glory days of Paradise Poker so I wouldn't be so sure

C-

First, you need an avatar.

And the pope would never say 'goddammit' - come on...

Online gambling revenues have quadrupled over the past 10 years to $36.9-billion... they cant possibly **** it up even if they wanted to.

The market will get much bigger before it gets smaller.

I'll shutup now. sorry

turkey rather than burkina faso

Lol

Ahh yes, when the most difficult thing you had to do with your HUD is decide between a cigar or a glass of champagne on your little table

I shouldn't make light in a thread like this, must be a PITA for you guys, hope you find somewhere good to play v. soon.

Last I checked North-Korea and Yemen had no regulation prohibiting online gambling

gg for north cyprus bc of using turkish ip also .lol u live in cyprus but u are not at cyprus. haha

While I agree UK and/or NJ licensing is most likely behind this, black and white really has nothing to do with it.

I always went with a Margaritha. It was basically a tell, I don't think I ever saw someone ordering one that wasn't a lag

Does anyone here worry that pokerstars will leave Canada soon?


Its September 30 here in Canada but in Malaysia its October 1st when the person posted this thread.


Does anyone think pokerstars will leave canada tomorrow as its October 1st? I also heard rumors about pinnaclesports leaving canada in september 1 or october 1 as well.


To those players in those countries that pokerstars no longer allow real money play, do you know when you will be allowed to make a withdraw? I probably assume its a 1 time withdraw?


I assume if you guys relocate, you still have to withdraw your balance first before you relocate?

Northern Cyprus can not Help turkish people !

Black Thuesday ! ! !

Hard to say something about that , but I think it will stay close for a long time in Turkey,

wtf is wrong with Amaya.

Would you mind expounding a bit? If it ties in with UK/NJ/USA (which we agree it clearly does) why wouldn't black/white have anything to do with it?

THIS.

Where is the official statement from Stars?
Before all the gossip and speculation gets out of control, Stars need to provide some solid facts.

I guess Amaya kicked their PR people too.

Turkey ,Malaysia, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Egypt, Qatar, Jordan, Kuwait, Senegal, Nigeria, Tanzania, United Republic of Bahrain, Afghanistan, Occupied Palestinian Territory, Kenya, Mozambique, Rwanda, Holy See (Vatican City)

The following countries are also blocked and no play money games are available:

Iran, Iraq, Syria, Zimbabwe, Libya, Sudan, North Korea, Cuba, Myanmar, Yemen.

Oh, a short statement was released to Pokerfuse.

Quote: A full list of affected countries has apparently not been released.

I wonder how many residents of the Vatican City play on Pokerstars… Apparently there are 839 people who live there, being either clergy or members of the Swiss Guard...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatican..._and_languages

No doubt in my mind that the United States government is behind this. Too much of a coincidence with pokerstars headed into the New Jersey market and this quote from New Jersey State Senator Raymond Lesniak, "“… Soon to be countries!” Funny how everything played out after Black Friday until now.

With more desperate players with nothing to do, this will only increase terrorism.

WHY DO YOU HELP ISIS POKERSTARS?

Here's an article on Calvin Ayre about Stars exiting.

The thing is though if you are Poker Stars would you rather be able to get back in the USA market or keep those countries listed that the just stop offering real money play to.... If i were them i would glady get rid of those listed countries to get back the USA player pool..... USA player pool? or

Turkey ,Malaysia, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Egypt, Qatar, Jordan, Kuwait, Senegal, Nigeria, Tanzania, United Republic of Bahrain, Afghanistan, Occupied Palestinian Territory, Kenya, Mozambique, Rwanda, Holy See (Vatican City) Iran, Iraq, Syria, Zimbabwe, Libya, Sudan, North Korea, Cuba, Myanmar, Yemen player pool? which one is more valuable?

Yeah but that Swiss guard who just signed up for another 3 years of night shifts is well pissed and they just gave him a new halberd.

Could this all be a part of a deal Amaya made to get access to US? Some antiterrorist bull**** from whoever they negotiate with?
