Today I received an email from Unibet Poker about closing my account . This is very unpleasant for me ! I played with them for a long time and with pleasure . Unfortunately, they did not respond to a request for reasons for closing the account ! Does anyone have any information about this ? I would like to know about the reasons for closing all accounts from Russia !

Some days ago someone made same thread about Bosnia and there are obviously way more of these unfortunate countries who will share same fate ...

E: "We are indeed closing down a number of smaller markets, which pose a much higher than average risk."
Guess it's up to everyone decide how big risk Russia, Bosnia, Peru, Dominican Republic, Kenya and godknowswhichothercountries pose lol ...

Well, at least some clarity on this issue has appeared .
 
Didnt even realize people from Russia could play.I know a few years ago there were some sites that were about all Russians.Just figured they werent allowed to even play poker.
 
Its sad as always when your country leaves from a market especially if you liked it.

If I remember right, Ukrainen and Russian players (both or just one of you), were not able to play GGpoker, but now both countries are wellcomed. Maybe it could be a future's choice.

I like more and more the unregulated sites, which dont give a ...

(And they dont restrict us german players to 4 tables and certain deposits and other nonsens...)

Its a business decision. They dont think, its advantageous for them to continue operating in the russian and some other markets due to limited profit and/or perceived high risk. Its no different than any other industry really. Recently Mitsubishi decided to stop selling their vehicles in a number of european countries, and then people from those countries will just need to pick another brand, if they want to purchase a new car.

i agree, and another reason, they are preparing for a restructuring or even a sale. not so long ago, i came across the news about the incredible profit of unibet last year. wondered why, if they take out of the country... i think this is a very real hypothesis.
 
sorry to hear that but these are new poker room policies, the biggest sites have left Serbia lately, too
