Buzzy received word this morning via email from the PokerStars communications team that PokerStars.CZ will go live in Czech Republic later this week:
You may remember back in December that it was reported PokerStars got off to a fast start in Portugal, attracting relatively huge traffic numbers. Do you expect Czech players to produce similar results?Just wanted to let you know that PokerStars.CZ will be launching on Thursday, February 16. We announced at the end of January that PokerStars was the first international brand to be licensed within the new Czech licensing environment. We’re now happy to say that Czech players can re-join the action at PokerStars tables from later this week. Find the initial Czech license press release here.
Czech players were last night contacted by email with instructions on how to cashout their existing funds. Czech regulation doesn’t allow direct transfer of funds so players will have to withdraw from their current account and create a new PokerStars.CZ Stars Account. Players have been encouraged to contact support@pokerstars.eu if they have any problems.
