PokerStars Removes Online Casino Games in Spain

Citing technical reasons, PokerStars has removed online blackjack and roulette games from its Spanish site. The games will come back when the technical issues are fixed, the company said.

PokerStars unexpectedly removed online casino games from its Spanish sites.

“We are removing blackjack and roulette casino games from the PokerStars.es software,” the company said in a note to players. “This is necessary to fix a minor technical issue whereby blackjack hand histories are not available to all players from directly within the software, as required.”

PokerStars said the issue had not affected gameplay and that the games will return when the issues are fixed.

“The issue resulted in no negative impact on the playing experience nor the integrity of our games,” PokerStars said. “Nevertheless, we are taking these steps to ensure that our software is 100 percent compliant with all relevant requirements. Blackjack and roulette will return as soon as possible, likely in a matter of weeks.”
