Firstly, Estonia, from March 15, 2010 it is possible to play poker online on all available rooms. The internet providers are required to block over 150 poker rooms to allow for a single room to provide this game to poker players. The only room in question is “Estonian Olympic Casino” which has the authorization to accommodate customers in Estonia. Other poker sites does not respect the rules rely up by the government, especially compared to the minimum age to play, that is to say 21 years.
Many elements will be created to bypass any ISP is made. Some internet providers have decided not to implement this blocking their penalties will be awarded.
Unlike Lithuania, which has a major asset for poker, since it will become a sport. Go back a few days ago, more precisely March 20. The local sports ministry attributed the “stamp” of sport in Poker. Lithuania is a country full development after its entry into Europe, legislation against poker is still very low. Poker sites online have no official status and land-based casinos are located there only seven years.
