We have an important message for all android poker and poker players who play on PokerStars.fr and are residents of the UK. For those who haven’t red the e-mail, PokerStars.fr has officially decided that they are closing the accounts of all UK players of the .FR poker room and will withdraw the poker room from the UK market.
First of all, if you are a UK based player and you play on PokerStars.co.uk, don’t be alarmed. Nothing will change for you. PokerStars is withdrawing all other extensions from the UK market. We mention the .FR in particular, because there are a lot of UK based players who are currently using it.
If you are UK based PokerStars.fr user, you play on another extension that is not the .CO.UK or use the android poker app, please pay attention to the following:
What To Do
You’re advised to immediately withdraw all funds remaining on your account.
The withdrawing and depositing money at judi online terpercaya site is easy and simple for the players. The creation of the account is possible with the skills and intelligence of the players. The withdrawing of the funds is easy to have success at the online platform.
You’re advised to immediately withdraw all funds remaining on your account. If you are a .FR player who also has a .CO.UK account, your real money tickets, tournament money, VIP Status, play money balance and FPP’s will be migrated to your .CO.UK account.
If you are a .FR player who also has a .CO.UK account, your real money tickets, tournament money, VIP Status, play money balance and FPP’s will be migrated to your .CO.UK account. You’re recommended to claim any unclaimed VIP Stellar Rewards and Milestone Cash Credits before the 1st of October. If you’re currently active on PokerStars.com you will need to download the UK-Specific android poker app. All desktop user of the .COM extension will get a message after the 30th of September to migrate their accounts. This will be as about the same as downloading the software, so don’t worry
If you’re currently active on PokerStars.com you will need to download the UK-Specific android poker app. All desktop user of the .COM extension will get a message after the 30th of September to migrate their accounts. This will be as about the same as downloading the software, so don’t worry All PokerStars.com users will still be able to play against the same player base as before, just from the new UK-specific android poker app or the .CO.UK extension.
New Gambling Regulations
This event doesn’t come as a surprise. All gambling operators who us the .FR extension are subject to taxation in France, which is 25% of the Gross Gaming Revenue. The UK gambling commission is currently working on a new gambling bill that will involve a 15% consumption tax on all online gambling that is offered to UK based players. In other words, operating on the UK market with a gambling website that uses an .FR extension means double taxation.
This also goes for the other extensions and mobile aplications, such as our android poker apps. All gambling operators that offer online gambling or mobile gambling to UK based players will be subject to the 15% consumption tax. We also predict that PokerStars wants to clean ship to make sure that will remain on positive terms with the UK gambling commission.
