Betfair Exits Russia, RedStar Moves to iPoker Network


Betfair has officially stopped accepting players from Russia starting May 5, 2020. Existing players must withdraw their funds by May 18, 2020. Flutter Entertainment, the owner of Betfair, completed a merger with The Stars Group on the same day Betfair announced its exit from Russia.

Guts and RedStar poker rooms will join the iPoker network on May 19, 2020. Partypoker offers daily prizes and 20% rakeback for opening the client until June 4, 2020.

Chico poker room has scheduled 80 tournaments with a total prize pool of at least $2,000,000 from April 30 to May 17, 2020.

Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
