Hi
I have a question about 888poker. Is it able to play from Slovenia. I played a long time ago but then they banned Slovenian players. It was same at PokerStars and they came back. How is it with 888poker?

Hello. Some poker rooms leave some countries for some reason or because they do not want to pay taxes. It is not known when 888poker will return to Slovenia.

If they do not permit Slovenia , when you visit 888poker page a message will appear saying that for regulation reasons players from your country are not allowed . If they do not redirect you to that page , then of course you are permitted to play .
I would try with VPN , but then again in the end I would still have to send them address proof and ID papers , so still they might ban me then . So better play only where you are allowed to

if he is good at poker and knows how to use a VPN, he can do it with confidence, if the Slovenian state does not ask him, in case he win money and withdraws something. This is more risky, but some players trying, because money is important and needs to be made.

I used VPN on Partypoker , they caught me , told me they would have to close my account , but before they did so , first they sent me back my cashier money , which was only my deposit (the second as the one I had lost it playing on casino) .
That was good , as some poker rooms might take all your cashier money , as you violated their terms of services , so that gives them the right to treat you like this . I do not know the policy of 888poker on that matter
