Today i speak with bwin support about ticket which i didnt recive and heard bad news that we from East Europe cant play there more.You can see on screenshoot story
Dunno why they doing this but it would be friggin' funny if they straight up just cut out most people from Russia and Ukraine too since there won't be anybody left to play there after they've gone. Loosing markets is not the way to maximize your earnings.

From what i read it seems to be something temporary. They are talking about migration, so they might built new sites, with other extensions like com etc, to move the players there, like other sites have done already. SO you might actually have to win a bit more, in order to be able and play there again.

Who knows why they are moving to a new site a portion of their player database, according to country origin. Perhaps they are trying to circumvent some laws, making it easier for them and the players. The bonus seem also nice as a form of compensation.
There are a whole lot of weird companies under the same umbrella (party, bwin, sportingbet, ladbrokes, coral) all of them cannot close these eastern european markats at the same time though because the infinite amount of $hit$torm it would generate...

Yes some strange situation to this news. Maybe it is because some bad laws for company and it is expensive to buy licence in some country or not good business, so they try to make move to have more profit, but it is not end result here and have to wait to see if something change or not
