Hey Mobsters,
From now the bulgarians can not play at:
PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, Uni Bet, 888 and more than 40 poker sites are blocked. This is the end for Bulgarian online Poker players.
These sites have to pay to the Bulgarian Government license to operate in Bulgaria, but they didn't so when I try to open www.pokerstars.com it appears The Bulgarian Nation Commision of Gambling.
All my accounts like PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and many more are blocked.
Why PokerStars didn't say anything about that earlier? What about these bulgarian players which they have money in their accounts? How will cash out? It is not fair!

Well I know exactly how you feel. Just for the fun of it the other day I attempted to check the entire list here in BRM to see if any or what sites might allow a U.S. player to signup. Needless to say the only one I found was CARBON Sports, but I can't get a bonus because I play at CARBON Poker.
Have you checked CARBON out to see if you can play there?

First I have to read the statement of the Bulgarian Court to see exactly which poker sites are prohibited. And I have to find a list where is legal to play poker from Bulgaria. I still cant believe PokerStars and Full tilt did this without informing us!

Hey dude,...that's what I was going to ask you. If folks have money in their PokerStars account,...how the heck do they get it OUT...???
It would be a real pain in the a$$ to have to be writing letters,...identfying yourself somehow,....and jumping through whatever the h3ll other hoops necessary to recover your funds...
Very rude that nobody gave you guys the heads-up. I wouldn't think PS is to blame. Sounds like your government shut them down in a hurry... I could be wrong though

Well said.
What the f**k is wrong with governments, if they taxed poker sites all of this would be over. But they can't because they are based in the isle of man...NO! They can f**kin tax them, and should do it now or make them cease operating. It's like weed, if someone had common sense it would help the economy. I sometimes think the economic collapse was planned and that is not just a conspiracy theory.

Hello, I feel sad for you Peter. Its not so nice when some jerks take away something you like. Especially when this , bring you some money. The government who block the poker sites, they are just some bunch of idiots. They stop making some money for country, by doing nothing( not like they do something in the rest to get money for ).

I saw a player from Bulgaria just now playing ring game on pokerstars. I dont know since when you can't access your accounts but assuming it's something recent, either that player is logged from before that and didn't disconnect or it might be that you are having some other more localized problem with your connection mate. did u get a mail or something from them saying why you can't loggin?

On 888poker just now I see a couple of Bulgarian players.
Cant be a bad thing if you ask me. The more countries that stop people playing on Pokerstars and Full Tilt the better. I refuse out of principal to play on either site now since the debacle that is black Friday, and the way the US government has basically sold its arse to pokerstars.
Pokerstars should have been prosecuted for what they got up to. Instead they've paid the US government millions and are now looking at being allowed back into the US market, and in doing so will recoup that money back in no time at all.
The US government should have made an example of Pokerstars, and they didn't..

Well it is sad man, hope there are no new black friday for Europe.
Anyway did you succeed in cashing out? or did you lose all your money? My advice is to contact their support and the others too to ask them if they can transfer the funds to your ewallet etc, hope everything goes fine and you get the money.

wtf, its shitty times when your government is stopping you from playing online poker. What happened to freedom to do as you wish with your money.. Its things like this that makes me happy to be British.. Its illegal to play on line poker in America and to drink untill your 21 but you can drive at 16 and get married lol fucking makes no sense at all. mind you i did'nt think Bulgaria had an issue with on line poker.. Hope you atleast get your cash back mate

Nothing more than expected. All that governments ask from them is some stupid amounts in order to get a license. And of course when sites dont see a profit out of it they are backing off.
