In a show of support for the nation being attacked, several large corporations are discontinuing services in Russia as the war in Ukraine continues. Online poker behemoth PokerStars is no longer providing services in Russia, indicating its support for Ukraine in line with businesses like Coca-Cola and McDonald's.
On March 9, PokerStars announced the news on Twitter. Results of the decision were inconsistent. When Russian players will be able to play online poker once more through the brand is unknown.
Russian gamers will no longer have access to PokerStars' gaming alternatives. The business now joins the list of well-known companies that are no longer providing services to the nation. 850 McDonald's locations are presently closed around the nation as a show of support for Ukraine. Exports have been stopped by major automakers including Toyota, Nissan, and General Motors.
PokerStars suspended internet operations and postponed a Sochi European Poker Tour tournament. The halt was scheduled for March 18–27. Due to the conflict, the event was initially scheduled for October, but the provider ultimately opted to cancel it.
Poker players started commenting on forums after the news was made, requesting the cancellation of all poker events in Russia. Several others concurred, and it appears that PokerStars has heard the call—at least in terms of the services they manage.
As a different show of solidarity, many in the gaming industry have started to donate money to support individuals in Ukraine who are attempting to flee the war-torn nation. Those working in the gaming sector started a GoFundMe in an effort to help.
The campaign, called Gaming Industry for Ukraine, has raised £193,887 ($253716) of its $250,000 ($327,145) target. The fund-raiser directly supports Choose Love, an organisation that offers assistance to refugees in a variety of ways, including food, life-saving operations, rescue boats, and legal counsel.
Substantial donations started to arrive as soon as the initiative got going. When a calamity occurs, the gaming industry frequently offers assistance. The gaming industry as a whole, including poker players and corporations, is renowned for its charitable character.
Poker tournaments are frequently held both online and offline to generate money for individuals in need. This is just another illustration of the community joining together to offer help and resources, as well as the large corporations leaving Russia.

Setting and maintaining boundaries on how much time and money may be spent playing is essential for responsible gambling. Never gamble with money you can't afford to lose, and stay away from pursuing losses. Be aware of the dangers and symptoms of problem gambling, and get assistance if necessary. Always play for enjoyment when you bet; never do it to get money.
