Can anyone from Germany play at Pokerstars?

Ah, you tried to register there? But weird they still show!

Yes they blocked them for germans,
I think it is best to show PokerStars the cold shoulder and leave their services for us germans, there is not great service and experience available.
Only the big number of cashgame tables may be a reason to stay, but I think for german players max. NL200. rest is also blocked.
They should have a look at their competitors.
OK on 888 only 4 tables/tournaments, also on PartyPoker Network.
Only not totally crippled is GG, but I fear their will be changes too.

Edited to add: Do other Poker sites in Germany still offer freerolls? GG? I only play at Stars so far, so don't know...

888 offers freerolls and CardsChat freerolls for all 3 VIP tiers freerolls.
Party Poker offers all 3 tier CardsChat Vip freerolls, and hourly freerolls to get Party$, to buy into real money tournament, the CardsChat Vip freerolls only work on PartyPoker not on Networksites like bwin.
GG Poker offers CardsChat bronze tier Freerolls as so called private tournaments. Also other private tournaments perhaps you can find the password on the internet or in their tournament lobby chat.

The german PokerStars will not be with big profit from so called recreational german players if they don't offer better conditions.
I don't think the german twitch highrollers like renemastermix will bring them big income. Timmey leaves to Austria to play poker for a living.

So this are my 5 cents to that.

Perhaps that helps

Eventually I was able to verify my account after 10 days. Just 5 minutes later I was able to register for a tournament. Feels Great 👍

Info for anyone not in the Pokerstars Discord: Apparently spaces and special characters in usernames were/are partly responsible for the problems...

So I don't know what you mean by the fact that the freerols are back for me, they were normally in the lobby until days ago, but since yesterday no one has been around anymore, it's just that one tournament with a 1 cent bet is still in the lobby. But I also have to read correctly here what was written about this topic before, maybe I missed something

Does anyone know what that means?

I got email with details how to verify my account. And it did work I got QR code and everything went ok. Then I got email that my account successfully verified. But if I'm trying to log in into my account I still see the error after trying to verify my data for real money account. I don't know what should I do. the Support chat is so weird

Jabr0ni · May 30, 2023

I am very fortunate that my account is registered in the U.K., I moved to Germany last year but I can still play everything as normal as long as I’m on VPN. Hopefully they don’t ask me to reverify my address

Be careful, man. In case you want to cash out and they go and verify your activity, you might get into trouble as this is not in line with their ToS.

Have you tried both mobile and desktop version? 🤔

Yes I tried both. They keep saying that I need to contact Schufa to validate my data. I don't understand this. I contacted schufa und they have no idea what's going on or may be I explained them my problem not really good

The rooms will contact Schufa for positive information about you. If this is not the case because you have debts or no regular income as an employee, then they will not give positive information about you to the rooms. In case you are self-employed, you will need to send data to Schufa about this.

Wow, thanks a lot PokerStars, or German regulations I guess. No more freerolls at all, and I was especially looking forward to the PokerNews Women's SCOOP Freeroll today. Yesterday I could still see that one and was registered. Couldn't at least have waited until tomorrow with the change 😭

Edited to add: Do other Poker sites in Germany still offer freerolls? GG? I only play at Stars so far, so don't know...

888 still offers the CC freerolls and also other freerolls like their club-level freerolls and freerolls from other sites.
Btw. today some PokerNews freerolls are visible again for me... But who knows, maybe it is an error of PS again....

I think we must help ps or make some pressure. Maybe someone must have an official letter that ps learn that the interpretation of the law is not right at the moment. Actual im in holiday, after that i would try to wrote the government in Halle. Hopefully i would get a respond for my request.

One member here, @bapfel did this already and passed a letter to them of the Bavarian Finance Minister in which it is written, that freerolls are allowed in Germany. But as it seems they are still considering. I also contacted them yesterday, if the affiliated sites, without mentioning CC only, would be able at least to offer buy-in games on their site, but the 1st-Level support guy was very cautious and said, he may not give me any information about this so far.

Not sure, what they are planning. But I think, it would be not the worst idea to tell them daily, that we are not happy about the situation
especially when other rooms like 888 e.g. still offer different freerolls to us Germans. BUT without mentioning CC directly or solely!!!

Maybe it would also make sense if some of you are active on other sites like CC to hint them to this thread here and to
combine our forces as a group. And maybe we should consider putting a petition together here:

I don’t know what should I tell Schufa to fix this issue ? Last time when I contacted Schufa it was some old man on the phone and he didn’t know what to do.

LemonadeJooe · May 31, 2023

The hoops you guys have to jump through just to enjoy your hobbies is insane.
The governments just can't seem to let people be.
Instead of focusing on real issues like inflation, energy and over-immigration they bother people with constant useless laws and rules that only limit people's freedom's.

To not be able to play online poker in so many countries is mind blowing.

But 12 year old children gambling with cases in videogames is totally fine...

knutwuchtig · May 31, 2023

surprise surprise, i see 4 freerolls: pokernews weekly, but no cc and so on.

Landseer253 · May 31, 2023

Hopefully it will be open for us

snekone · Jun 1, 2023

Now i got a account on 888poker , Because of all that stuff

good bye PS see you on sunday for the 1cent spezial ...

I never had contact with them personally, I just know these problems with them of my ex who had no regular income.
But maybe you should write an email there, that they pass along your issue to a staff member who is capable to solve things for you.
