wow,this is big change in poker industry and who know what can we expect for other countries in future!its strange that they go from big markets and that they dont want to pay tax or licence in serbia!who know where is end of this and how many players this will affect!
Posted by StheP: it is true... there is thread on 2+2 from tomorow serbia, vietnam and japan will not be able to play on party poker anymore....
Dunno how Japan was under the radar for so much time, they still not legalized gambling there. I would imagine many of them spend holidays in Macau just go get it out of their system...

.... < .... Sounds like a TOTAL Bummer,....if it were true...! I don't know if it's true or not,....but what I would do is TELEPHONE PartyPoker's toll free line and ask directly for yourself...!
... < ....It just could be true that it's a phishing email...! ALWAYS phone over serious matters like this...!
it is true... there is thread on 2+2 from tomorow serbia, vietnam and japan will not be able to play on party poker anymore....
but those are threads created in that forum. The idea is to seek official information, where Party Poker reports on this decision and the reason why this restriction is being made. remember that this restriction was sudden.

In Romania Party Poker has not worked since 2016. It's weird and now it's really disappointing. I think the laws are to blame and the bosses from this poker room as well. You want to make money then you have to pay taxes but PP does not want to pay taxes.

I do not think it has to do with a tax issue. I believe that it is the Federal Law of the country that prohibits the game of poker just as Venezuela did remember when they also banned casinos and slots and slots with some call it the same in Serbia the government has decided not to have the online game for Poker so something similar happened also in Spain with pokerstars that banned what was the online game but the room took out its own room with point is so that the Spaniards can play in this room

The situation for Party Poker is not good at all here. They abandoned in a few countries and now players will migrate to other poker rooms. It is a decision that will affect PP quite a lot. The marketing here was disappointing but this is their choice.

WITHDRAW FUNDS"
You have to rescue from the bad the good And the good thing is that they will be able to withdraw their winnings that they have had and that is something very good for the users of Serbia congratulations to Paty Poker for not leaving them like this they are good withdrawals Let's hope to see if they communicate and see what really happened And why they closed I think it was the laws of the country that prevented Party Poker from working

There's a lot more $hit going on right now - than just a casino ban - in Venezuela...

I only refer to the prohibition that Hugo Chavez ruled against the country so that slot games are not accepted that were closed throughout the country leaving many Venezuelans unemployed this was one of the first measures adopted by the government of Hugo Chavez

Yes demodawggy, is too bad and many of us know that but a person from this site, he gave me a low vote because i told a truth. It's incredible and a company that leaves from a country, it cannot recover the damage by losing several players. This is true and sad because many players bring more profit.

Obviously the damage has been done by staying in the said country, that is why they are leaving. To cut the losses or minimize them if you like by stopping the operations. No point spending resources and personnel to make you happy by playing there. They just dont care... And who told you that more players means more profit? If they are freerollers in their majority, how can you make a decent profit from that...?

Mober, i say this thing because that's the truth. Party Poker did not specialize in providing many frerrolls to the players. I read this just a few months ago. This poker room does not offer many free tournaments and the players here make deposits.

Yeah I think they have a different scale of problems than just the unemployment from the casino-ban.
It is of course very sad that in some countries Ah, some poker rooms stop working due to the fact that they want to contradict the laws of these countries, but it seems to me that if a person plays online, he can play from any country, but when yes restrictions are introduced for some countries This is of course very sad.

Party Poker is the very first site I played when I started to play Poker back in 2011. They are still up and running over here In Germany and I hope they will survive and stay in the market. Sometimes they have nice promotions in which I participate.
