I copied this from the Adminstrator from an another thread. I hope you guys (and admin) don't mind ...
"Maybe in the future bulgaria is allowed yes, but right now, many of the pokersites doesn't like to give free money to certain countries because of low player value. It's a shame though, but we don't make the rules
Please make a better topic next time, so it explains what your post is about "

Wow rajko, that´s a punch in the mouth. Capitalism sure knows how to cast some people away.
At the end of the day, I guess it´s all business.
Hope they start giving bonus to all. Who knows, maybe that one guy who was refused the bonus becomes world champ... it´s a longshot but hey, it´s poker!

wow thats a little backwards dont you think? wouldnt you want to give countries with a low amount of people playin better offers to get them to start playing instead of givin the money to people who will prolly play anyways?

italia, It's too expensive for the pokersites. In some countries, free $25 is ALOT of money, so some players will do anything to do some serious fraud there. And by loosing the money to another player, then the pokersites are paying $25 for each time that happens and receiving maybe less than $1 in rake.
Trust me, I know some pokersites that found out the hard way what it means to be "frauded" like that. And the worst thing is, it only takes a few people to blow it for everybody else, since it will have the no deposit offer removed.

For our countries to be allowed, I think it will be around.. never! Or until someone from either country win something big in poker to promote the nationality.
