PokerStars Adds, Removes High-Buyin "Tax Deferral" Tables on Greek Site
Key Takeaways
  • Rake-free, 40,000-capped multi-table tournaments scheduled for over a month in the future were added to the client.
  • They were subsequently removed days later without an announcement or explanation.
  • While PokerStars representatives were engaging players publicly on the changes, there has been no further communication over the last two weeks.

In Rational Group’s continued attempts to both comply with Greek regulation, while mitigating the tax burden of its players, PokerStars added, but later removed, high-buyin tournaments that could aid players in deferring tax on daily profits.
