PokerStars are suspending all services in Russia

[oldbutslow]

The first thing i noticed when i started playing again on Stars in april was the lack of russian players, i hope this insane war is over soon but i doubt it will be because sanctions want do much.

I think its a great idea the more pressure that gets put on russia to stop their aggression the better

 

[RagNar87]

I am Russian living in Ukraine!!! I am proud of my country, I am very glad I have Ukrainian citizenship. I can only say that I will not find myself that we will wage war with the Russians. I cannot describe all the horror and cruelty that I have seen in the last two months of my life. now I believe that there is no forgiveness of the people who came to fight and destroy my Ukraine. This is the genocide of the nation. The violence of young children and the looting that we discovered no longer made me doubt that Russia is an abscess on planet Earth and should simply be removed.

Good other sites should be doing this as well.

Я с оккупированного Херсона. От наших домов ничего не осталось. Скитаюсь теперь по чужим домам, на пятом месяце беременности...мой долгожданный первенец растёт и развивается в матери, которая разбита и сломленна...и границы не просто... надежды, что их люди видят глаза и перестанет убивать,насиловать наших женщин и детей.

I am from occupied Kherson. There is nothing left of our houses. Now I am wandering around other people's houses, in the fifth month of pregnancy ... my long-awaited first-born is growing and developing in a mother who is broken and broken ... and the borders are not just ... hopes that their people see their eyes and stop killing, raping our women and children.

I'm against war.​ But i​ don't​ understand​ these sanctions especially when they are against some civilians and organisation that have nothing to do with this war. Normally sport should be free of politics

 

[dompoker]

I don't think it's a good decision, because Russian players have nothing to do with the war.

Well, the rumors are that Putin will declare war with Ukraine on the 9th of May, which basically means that all young Russian men could be involved in the war one way or the other.

So Western companies will have no business in Russia, whether it's gaming sites like Pokerstars or burger chains like McDonalds, until the war is over.

 

[armoko]

I think if the war is over, most of the companies will stay away from russia if the putin stays as president. anyway "bright" future for russians

Закончиться тогда когда русня (Пойдет на хуй ) и перестанет трогать Украину

This will all end when Zelensky stops cooperating with the US and NATO:deal:

 

[aissam18]

They can't do transactions in russia so it's for the best of all parties to do that

 

[bigthereal]

sure that kind of economic sanctions

 

[caracaski220]

Absolutely the right move. should have been done sooner.

 

[ppartizan2]

I dont think peoples lives should be suffering because of politics.First sports,and now online gambling.This is why we are all doomed,because politicians rule the world.

 

[Dalyn]

Totally unfair for Russian players...

 

[MrrrRock]

its even more unfair they dont let them withdraw their funds...

 

[deform fedot]

Quite rightly. Citizens elected a government that started more than one war, if not the citizens of Russia, then who?

 

[bowserdon]

Its the govt not the people

We understand that there are or have been wars all over the world over time. We have overcome many such moments in history. But honestly... what the fault of the ordinary Russian people has. Normal people like us who are to blame? That they were born in Russia? If I was Russian, what was I doing? excuse me

Unfortunately the Russian people are suffering consequences because of actions from the people in charge who do not have their best interests at heart. The majority of the world does NOT blame Russians, just the regime that is currently in charge but what always happens is that the the people that get affected the most (including soldiers that die in a needless war) are the innocent citizens of that country. I just hope that they get accurate information soon and get to elect someone who DOES have Russia's best interest at heart and the world can start to get back to normal.

I would recommend that you listen to wiretap conversations between Russian soldiers and their relatives on the phone. As a European, your hair would stand on end. How much they hate Ukrainians.
What have we done to them to treat us like this. It's just some kind of moral freaks who have nothing
human. The Nazis did not commit atrocities in the Great Patriotic War as the Russians do now.
I'm not at all sorry that everyone began to offend the Russians so much. They just deserve it for their
behavior. And you must listen to the recordings of the negotiations.

You just have to wait until the war is over.

In the meantime GG poker allows both Russian and Belorussian players to play.
