Hi there,
I was trying to understand in which countries in Europe you can play Pokerstars International.
I can't reach the official website of PokerStars.com because I'm from Italy and when I try to go in, it automatically open PokerStars.it.
So, who knows from which countries in Europe you can play on PokerStars.com instead than .it/.eu/etc?

Hi Nonsonounpro,
Interesting question.

I suggest that you open the PokerStars client, go the help button on the right-hand-side, scroll down to the "contact us" button.
You may get a chat window, and you may get a form to fill out.

Ask them your question.

I tried to find out, and found this:
https://www.pokerstars.com/prohibited-jurisdictions/ which doesn't help much.

The PokerStars Wikipedia article has some information, but it isn't always accurate.

Maybe good to know that .eu PokerStars members are playing in the same playerspool as .com version. I know that .FR and .IT has his own playerspool and maybe more European countries have this.

I also moved you're question to our Pokerstars board. There fits it better I think.

Cheers,

So if you play from Portugal that is .eu (as I remember well) you play against players from Japan (that is .com)?

And if you have a countries list of .eu can you share this list pls? Because I was trying to reach PokerStars.gr to understand if Greece is .eu, but from Italy is impossible

There is a few different player pools.

PokerStars Europe combines the player pools of the regulated markets for Spain, Portugal and France. So a player from Portugal who plays on PokerStars.pt plays on the PokerStars Europe pool against spanish and french players.

PokerStars.it is still a seperate network (i pretty sure), so they are not (yet) on the Europe player pool with FR ES PT.

then there is the old PokerStars.com/.eu/ etc they all share the same player pool. Stars.eu actually doesnt serve that many countries anymore, as a lot of the markets now have their own extentions like PokerStars.nl, .gr, .cz. These however all share the same playerpool, where some local restrictions might apply. For example players from CZ might not have access to all tournaments.

Hi KatyLaurence,
That really looks like a chatbot submission.
What's worse is that it doesn't answer the question.
