Winamax gone for Irish players
We are contacting you concerning your Winamax account.
All gaming services available to players in Ireland must be licensed by the Gambling Commission. As a result, you are therefore no longer permitted to play with Winamax. We have noticed that the postal address registered on your Winamax account is located in Ireland, as are the IP addresses from which you connect. Should the postal address on your account not be up to date and you now live in a country from which it is legal to play on Winamax, you are welcome to create a new account from this page: https://www.winamax.fr/en/account/create.php The funds remaining on your account will be paid out to your bank account as registered on Winamax. The payment will be made for the total balance on your account at the time of account closure, as well as the monetary value of your Miles, and the face value of your unused tournament tickets. The payment should reach your bank account within 7 working days. Please contact us if you have not received your funds within this time frame. We appreciate you having chosen us as your online poker room and it is our hope that you have enjoyed your time playing with Winamax. We wish you best of luck in the future. Best regards, The Winamax Team |

Should we expect Stars.FR to be gone soon also? Hopefully this won't be happening with too many more sites.

How does this effect us with the Winamax open? Are payouts not made into your Winamax account?

Pretty frustrated by this. I play entirely on Winamax. Could someone explain, is this the Irish gambling commision who have changed their stance on it or a French change in gambling legislation?
I'm wondering if i provide a French address (which i have), with the same Irish bank account can i play from an IP address in Ireland? I just can't comprehend how stars.fr is ok but Winamax isn't. |

This does not impact on the running of the Winamax Poker Open which will be held 23rd - 27th September at The Regency Hotel, Dublin - it will however put an end to irish players qualifying for the event through Winamax.fr - I will try to get some satellites for WPO up on local based sites.
The full schedule for WPO 2015 can be found here: https://www.winamax.fr/en/schedule.html

Stars have a license and Winamax don't basically. Can't see whats stopping them from applying for one but they seem to have ignored this as an option. Maybe its just not viable financially for them. |
