On the contrary most countries in Europe have already regulated and legalized online gambling. For instance people from all the other nordic countries can still play legally on PokerStars in the international player pool.

Just for fun I scrolled though the tournament lobby, and I actually found a finnish player in a 3,3$ MTT. So some Finns are clearly still playing on Stars, and when I google, there is also no news, that Stars have left the finnish market. Maybe hutzpad tried to log on while in another country? If danish or swedish players do that, we get the same message.

Not only Finland, but also other countries, such as Denmark, Norway, Italy and France, are also trying to prohibit playing online poker - this, I think, is not correct, this is a violation of the freedom of citizens to choose what they want.

This is not true. Online poker is legal and regulated in both Denmark, Italy and France. Danish players are allowed to play in the international player pools on the sites, that have aquired a license, like PokerStars, 888 and PartyPoker. Players from Italy can only play with other people from Italy, while players from France can play with people from France, Spain and Portugal. As for Norway I am not quite sure about the situation, but lots of norwegians are playing on PokerStars in the international pool.

As long as no one is being hurt, I don't know why governments want to tell you what you should, and shouldn't do with your money.

Seems to me, that many governments are missing a very big opportunity, by not taxing profits.

I know that taxing profits would not sit well, with everyone, but they would have to be incredibly high to make anyone quit.

..at the beginning of the year I was unable to play on the computer at Pokerstars. Playing on mobile was successful.
The computer was able to play again after the upgrade.
I don't know what happened to Pokerstar at the beginning of the year ??
