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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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?
