Calicul , these country restrictions are vey big probelm ,I understand if you cannot play in more poker rooms , I also have the same problem . But there is VPN as we all know . I tried it in the past ,registered in one pokr room , deposited , played, withdrew Now I tried again , I hope i have the same success . I have successfully deposited , after many attempts I will play , very soon ,in the first profits that I will have I will try withdrawal ,only to see if it's possible or not . Cause if I am not allowed to withdraw , there is no resson to keepon playing .
Cause the ridiculous thing is that you might overcome government restrictions , find a (VPN) way to get to these sites , find a way to deposit , play many games , and when the time to withdraw comes , pokerrooms will deny it ,because they found out you are from a restricted country .
Give me a break man , I use VPN , governmments I believe they allow it or else they would find a way to stop its use by now , why poker rooms are so complexed , make it so hard ?? They say your address is not from the country you first stated , give me a break , I might have moved to another country the last months , lol , I might have a permanent residence in another country , lol . why are they so afraid ??? Also in the past things were easier to play with VPN ., now I see more obstacles when governments also restrict games more and more , coincidence ?????

antonis,goverments donw allow lot of site,especially EU countries,because they dont have anything from this sites,they dont pay any tax in this countries and they want something from it!but ofcourse with VPN you can play on this sites again!good thing at this poker software they can do anything,because you have them already in computer or laptop and they can close this games for you,only at desktop version trough chrome or whatever you use!

Governments pretend they cannot stop VPN , but I believe they leave it on purpose , there is a catch for this , or else they would have banned it worldwide . Think of torrent sites , in the past so many sites , innumerable , where you could download anything for free , governments pretended they couldn't stop it , lately they changed their minds , in all over the world !! Now I cannot find not even one torrent (real or with value/good one , lol ) . Someday in the future they are going to stop the use of VPN as well , I believe
Anyway , sites have made it even harder lately to deposit , for example 888poker . Another bad thing is that , you might be able to deposit , bu not be able to withdraw . Sites will ask for documents , address , id , they will catch you and ban you . Sometimes i feel they are worse than governments , LOL So , in that case , it's not the depositso much to care that you would have lost , but too many hours of games
Anyway , i have deposited now , i want to see how it will go . If everything goes well , I will deposit in some other sites as well , if not I will ONLY be playing in sites that do not forbid my country ( if only government forbid them , VPN will do its miracle , but if they not allow it , there is no meaning to try playing there . Now I try in two sites for the last time , if successfull I will do this again , if not , never again )

No surprise that 888poker has another promotion. A big site with one promotion after another, and lots of freerolls. A good thing for all the starting players in the game. Also a good thing is that they are having always qualifiers for all their big tournament series. So with a bit of luck you can fill your pockets

Well CALICUL, I´m in a similar way. After a lot of time when I played daily in 5 or 6 poker´s room, following the freeroll´s schedule, today I´m playing in only two: 888poker and GreySnow. I liked very much Wxxxxx, but they stopped the freerolls. And sometimes I make a try in the sit and go of 360 players in PokerStars, but there I´m not used

Last week was one without luck for me on the satellites but i do not give up. It is a continuous battle for these places and i can only try again. The time comes when the software is with you and then we must to take advantage. We don't have to lose our hopes.

This promotion is languishing or I´m wrong? The best characteristic of 888poker is the number and amplitud of his promotions. But I think that those are competing between them. The first place in the public attention about this tournament lasted very little. In only a week or ten days, the PKO Series appeared and atracted all the atention

Promotions are many in every year and we can always play whenever we want or when we have bankroll. I like some of them but not all. I saw something interesting i register there to participate. It is important to achieve something in the end.
