Do you think Poker will be affected by the Ukraine-Russia war?

fullclock · Feb 28, 2022

I think that some of the effects will be the tournaments that were scheduled in Russian territory or I also think that if they block Internet services in Russia, many players from that country will be affected. My wish is that this war comes to an end soon!

It is not dangerous for poker, but Ukrainian players will decrease

BlindThieve420 · Feb 28, 2022

I don't think it'll have any effect, except for Russia players.

theRaven68 · Feb 28, 2022

both sides will be affected for different reasons, but poker as a whole does not

SopianaeExtra · Feb 28, 2022

As long as money exists, Poker will never cease to be.

Skot_Gy · Feb 28, 2022

I think players for those countries will decrease, but game as a whole goes on no problems

theoxy · Feb 28, 2022

I don't think it'will have any effect.

Well, like they say; "If a butterfly pees in the ocean ................."

For Russians, poker is an opportunity to profit in the ratio of the dollar to the ruble, but since the countries are for sanctions, this may cause withdrawal problems or access restrictions or something else, I hope poker is out of politics, the war will stop, because they suffer ordinary people, the world is full of other problems.

I think that all Russian and Belarus players should be banned immediately from games with any other players, especially players from European countries.
It's immoral to wake the impression as if money were more important than Ukraine life

Certainly. This war will not only affect poker, this senseless war will affect the whole world. We will still feel for a long time the consequences of this war, which is ongoing and which is unknown when it will end. But in any case, I am convinced that the war will end in victory for a free Ukraine, because the truth is on our side.

I have seen less Ukrainian players when I hover over their names in ACR.

Hi all
There have always been wars, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Syria, now Ukraine. Poker has always been, is and will be. The other day the ruble began to fall against the dollar, GG for players from Russia transferred the dollar balance to ruble, then when the ruble began to grow back into dollars. Poker rooms will find how to save their money and players, this is their bread and we (players) their earnings.

fedkov · Mar 1, 2022

If you think that poker is out of politics, you have the opportunity to take stock and understand how wrong you were.

Live Poker Events:
Ukrainian-Israeli UPO & IPC -
EPT Open Sochi rescheduled -

Poker rooms rescheduled:
PokerMatch - closes access for Russian players
William Hill - closes access for Russian players
Guts Poker - closes access for Russian players
NetBet - closes access for players from Russia

Payment systems:
Skrill - high risk of blocking with funds freezing
NETELLER - high risk of blocking with funds freezing
ecoPayz - high risk of blocking with funds freezing

Offline poker series are being transferred, rooms restrict access to the game, payment systems can freeze your funds for an unlimited period at any time, the ability to make deposits and withdraw less and less.

It will affect money transactions for Russian players, but I believe Crypto is still open for anyone, I do not think they can stop access that way.

spectralwave · Mar 1, 2022

I think that everything suffers a consequence big or small directly or indirectly when there is war in the world, war is wrong, peace and love is right.

azforlife · Mar 1, 2022

Meaningless for other nations, Ukraine may get blocked on some sites.

TaigaMaster · Mar 1, 2022

let's hope that this does not affect the game of poker, although in russia many sites were already closed before that

MishkaZL · Mar 1, 2022

We all want to end this war. I live in Ukraine, and our cities are being bombed and peaceful people are being killed. War is death and sorrow and we all know who started this war and we all need to know that Ukraine and the whole world will win it.

Foxie12340 · Mar 1, 2022

All poker may be effected if the sites are interrupted

lukovnikofff · Mar 4, 2022

I think that this will not affect poker much, but it will affect the players from Russia the most, it will be impossible to replenish the balance or withdraw funds, most likely, but this is all temporary, after a while everything will be resolved, I hope. Peace and goodness to all!

Maybe if nukes start raining down, poker would be affected. Did any of the wars in the last 20 years affect poker? No...

stil370 · Mar 5, 2022

In the USA

The only thing that would effect poker in the USA is if someone dropped a nuclear bomb here. No joke

Then it would become legal again, right?
