Can anyone from Germany play at Pokerstars?

[Andyreas]

Well PokerStars offer or lists the PokerNews Freerolls. Why not the CardsChat ones.
Freaks that don't know what they are doing.
It looks a bit shady how the things are going on there.

You are right😱

Although I believe this might be a mistake. They clearly stated several times that they will not offer freerolls for Germans in the future.

But let's see.

A short answer to the problem, the normal freerolls from ps direct are possible to play. Like the freeroll satelites. But again cc are not in the lobby.

Can a German lady try to join this event?



@whiskers77 , @mina271 ?

What a hypocrisy 🤐

 

[ScoobyNL]

yes, this is so ....

Also the transfer is not going as it should, i already contact support about that.

All my details are good but i just changed nationality from German into the netherlands (that is posible) because i am Dutch and living in germany.

pokerstars is making a mess....

Ok, I see I suffer a poker/PokerStars freeroll addiction.
I should directly go to jail and don't take $2000 / $4000 monopoly dollars.
Well PokerStars should directly close their opertions in germany, this would be the best thing for them.
And I think that is their long term plan:
Lets upset german players, they will mostly withdraw their funds.
If the german player base is so small that there is no worthy profit in that area, close operations there.
No License hassle with the GGL and no german taxation for PokerStars.

Had to do the same (Belgian) but it worked. I am verified again.

What is the problem with your process?

Nationality is not important ...Location is.

 

[ScoobyNL]

i am not sure, i sended screenshots to support and they can take care off it i hope.

 

[ScoobyNL]

location is good, so that is not the problem.

 

[G0930]

location is good, so that is not the problem.

But that would make PS geolocation totally obsolete.
Residence was always important not the nationality of the player

so are we going to get our VIP Points refunded?

I'm sure this will be the case

 

[Silversurfer99]

so i cannot verify my account and cannot contact the help..how did it work for you?

 

[Andyreas]

Players that do not register, will usually get their VIP chips refunded upon request.

But considering that some freerolls are still available (despite my first impression), I hope it's all just a big misunderstanding? 😜😂

 

[Andyreas]

For me it worked - but not in a first try and only from PC, not in mobile App.

 

[paetel]

the german shootout is offered for $0.01 on de DE Site.

Thanks, didn't see it on first glance because all my filters where reset to regular.

 

[Chica_bonita]

As far as I can see, no one has registered for the VIP tournament yet (the password has not yet been provided to the participants).
And, if you do not register for the tournament, you can write in the VIP tournament topic or personally to Tammy and you will get your chips back.

Probably there's no correlation but since this new regulations, there was an update and I can't access PS on PC but only on mobile .
Update worked on mobile but not on PC

@Andyreas does this DE domain mean Germans won't be in the global playerpool anymore but in a seperate like for example Spain france Italy ?

I think they will be in the global playerpool but no bonusses for german players.

No, I just played a freeroll and it was against all the other nations.
