PokerStars.FR only for French residents from 13th February

PokerStars.FR is undergoing some heavy changes from February 13th - the site will become available only to residents of France.

In the e-mail PokerStars provided full information on how to transition out of PokerStars.FR and what will happen to cash, tournament dollars and points balance of players moving.

Here is a full e-mail with explanation that PokerStars sent out today:

"In an effort to adapt to a constantly changing environment, from February 13, 2017 a reorganisation will take place resulting in limiting service on PokerStars.FR to players resident in mainland France or its overseas territories.

Players based outside France continue to be welcome to play on PokerStars.COM, the world’s largest online poker site, or at other PokerStars licensed websites subject to local laws and regulations of the country in which they reside.

? As always, we will keep our customers informed and, regardless of any future developments, playing funds will remain safe, secure and accessible for withdrawal. We have always kept player funds separate from the company’s operating funds. The Cashier is now available for you to withdraw the funds in your real money account if you wish. If you have any unused T€ and/or Tournament Tickets in your account, they will automatically be converted into their equivalent cash value upon entering the Cashier from February 13 onwards.

You are welcome to use your StarsCoin to purchase any items from the VIP Store, with the exception of online tournament tickets. Any funds resulting from these purchases will be immediately available for withdrawal.

To make a withdrawal request: simply log in to your Stars Account and visit the Cashier. Enter the amount you would like to withdraw and select one of the available withdrawal options. Please note that from February 13, the Cashier will only be available for withdrawals.

I think italian fish are worse. They do the work for you. Vs french fish you have to bet yourself

they probably going to close france, spain, italy and portugal as a market
they going to take HU off obv and introduce that "seat me" feature, also with super high rake that makes the games unbeatable
