iPoker Network to Exit Belarusian Market by End of August

The iPoker network, which includes popular poker rooms like Guts Poker, Betsafe, and RedStar Poker, is set to leave the Belarusian market on August 27th. This decision comes as part of a broader trend of major poker networks exiting gray markets to enhance their reputation in countries where online poker is fully legal.

Players from Belarus will still be able to withdraw their funds after August 27th, ensuring that their accounts remain accessible. However, they will need to find alternative poker networks for their gaming needs.

This move by iPoker is not necessarily final. Previously, Guts Poker, part of the iPoker network, temporarily stopped operations in Ukraine but later resumed accepting Ukrainian players. However, given the current economic and political climate in Belarus, the prospects for a return are uncertain.
