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

[stil370]

Then it would become legal again, right?

Hmm, I hadnt thought of that Sopianae:joyman::joyman:

 

[cdntyler87]

Poker as a whole will unlikely be affected, it may become more difficult to play in Russia and Ukraine but I don’t see it affecting anywhere else as of yet. Large tournaments by outside groups will cancel any Russian dates until further notice as they should

 

[CryptoBlood]

No I dont think that it will really have some kind of the affect because poker sotes accept hunders of countries but only from 2 of them people will not be able to play.

 

[Amdrius]

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!

After the outbreak of the war, a huge number of sanctions were applied to Russia. The disconnect from SWIFT means that a lot of poker players will no longer be able to deposit to the poker room. Live poker events that were scheduled before the start of the war will be canceled for sure. There are constant interruptions in the Internet, blocking providers, and not all poker rooms allow you to use a VPN. So the war will have a very serious impact on poker. I will not write about players from Ukraine, because now they don’t even think about poker, but think about how to survive in the war. May there be peace throughout the world.

In the case of Venezuela, it can be affected, at least in pokerstars since the method to make deposits and withdrawals is through a Russian platform and with all the restrictions that are being applied to Russia, this can affect the moment of making deposits or withdrawals. Let's hope the war ends soon

[Daen27]

Only for Russians, yes, I think poker will close soon.

 

[Maxmustdie]

visa and mastercard are already blocked in russia
Russia in complete isolation
there will be fewer amateur players

I really hope that this war will not affect poker in general in any way !!!

 

[cdntyler87]

PokerStars has taken the initiative and suspended their services in Russia, the first domino to fall for players there

 

[Mhammadkhalil]

I don't think it will affect all the poker industry but of course it will affect the player that lives in Russia and Ukraine

 

[acidburnfx]

Let's see the numbers

Users are migrating to another platform?
GGPoker +160,000
PokerStars +55,000

 

[Herkstwin]

There are no Russians playing on PokerStars as of now (Saturday, March 12, 2022 - 12:22 UTC).

 

[frank174]

Can only hope ACR does the right thing and ban them as well

 

[Lipki3]

Unfortunately, it has already affected. What is the closure of PokerStars worth for ordinary Russians.

 

[PatriceM915]

Good Morning

Yes overall to some extent it will be affected yes mainly in neighboring countries

 

[pavel1111111]

I really don't see why they have anything to do with each other

 

[Rob Hobson]

WAR PIGS

For good sake of the Russians and Ukrainians STOP THE FCKNG WAR.

 

[darkvick]

I guess it does, there is a huge happening, will afect so many things

 

[XsMALsX]

War affects everythings...

 

[theoxy]

Unfortunately, it has already affected.

 

[redmast]

A person can do without poker. You better think about global changes while isolating a large country. This will respond in almost all countries with an increase in the price of oil and gas.

 

[DiegoRamos]

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!

Yes, unfortunately people who have nothing to do with this madness will be affected.

But I think it will last for a maximum of two more months.

Taking advantage of this, my condolences to Ukrainian friends.

 

[Vegas77]

War is started by politicians and globalists. The people have nothing to do with the war. Its ridiculous to think the war could affect poker. But the world is ridiculous most of the time.

 

[kbuinowski]

Me I think so since the war has been going on I have seen more people from the Russian Federation then I have seen before.
