Unibet will be unavailable in Lithuania after December 20th?

[GN1991]

Today I open my unibet web account and saw a terrible message :(

Can you please guys @ReCorpH @Stubbe-Unibet @JeppeL @Andy-Unibet comment about this? Is that mean I can't play poker from Lithuania too? And that will happen to my poker tickets?

[GN1991]

This so unfair actually :( Especially that we were informed in such a shor time of period :( Five days seriously?

[GN1991]

I have a lot of poker bonus points and poker tickets, 5 days definetly not enough guys :(

[Merenitsu]

@GN1991  Ask. It may be possible to play through VPN.

Strange things are happening.  In my country, there is also talk about the monopoly of the gambling business. 😠 

[Andy-Relax]

Hi @GN1991,

Yes, all products will become unavailable in the next few days.

As far as the poker product goes, we expect transactions for LT players to stop around 8am (CET) tomorrow morning which means players will no longer be able to register tournaments or enter cash games. After that we'll convert any unused ticket and bonus points to cash so that players can withdraw. I hope to have all the crediting done by lunchtime.

@GN1991#FeelBadMan

is there any new regulations coming that ruin unibet in LT....

 

 

[Jami-Unibet]

Hey @GN1991, unfortunately I don't have any info on this but I can look into it. Most likely some regulatory changes or similar since it's this short of a notice. 

[GN1991]

Thank you @ReCorpH if you can please look.

[Purps]

 

@GN1991 

That's such sad news. You¨ve been such  a good sport here always taking part on almost everything and congratulating others and so on... 👍

Hopefully there will be a way to stick around, although according to the answers so far it doesn't look too good at all :sad:

I think it is bad idea @Merenitsu my account would just be banned.

As far as I know nothing changed, that's why I am so suprided. @Purps  Thank you , yeah it looks like gg. I will miss you guys.

[Merenitsu]

@Purps  It all looks so that in 5 years the best poker room by design will be left without players. :waterfall: @ReCorpH   There will be an opportunity - figure it out. I think everyone is wondering why all this is happening. :geek:

[Merenitsu]

@GN1991  For your part, you can send a request to the ministry. When I was going through verification, I sent requests for my questions and learned a lot of interesting things.

[HardGain]

Im sorry to read that sad news :(

I have experienced many sites leaving or banning my country and it was always with a notice few days before they left

[FunckyFish]

I've saw that Unibet was banned in 2016 in Lithuania but they managed to stay there without taking a licence. Probably Lithuanian GOV managed to block them now.

In terms of the "why?", I don't know to be honest so I can't comment.

With regards to the short notice, the decision looks like it was made late last week and the poker team were informed yesterday afternoon so we've known about it almost as long as you have.

If you want troubles for him then yes. The site was not 100% legal at their country so asking about it is for sure very wise move...

@Pesek

You probably know best about this. Everyone will be interested 😃

All tickets and BP will converted into cash, including live tour ticket. 

I'm not sure about your free bets as I'm not sure if they'll count them as "pending bonuses" which are being voided. Personally, I'd try and get them used tonight on something happening toniight but that is in no way an official answer :)

Sory for bothering you again @Andy-Unibet foeget to ask about cash tickets, do they also will be converted in to a cash?

[Pesek]

@GN1991  I know this cause we in Poland had the same situation as you i suppose, so i am little bit worried that we could be next on the list... Anyway i hope it will be only temporary for your country.
