Online Poker in Estonia – Do I Need a VPN?

For the initial download, a VPN be necessary. While playing online poker is not illegal in Estonia, the government has blocked the internet domains of some unlicensed operators, although not very efficiently.

While a poker room’s domain may be down, preventing new players from downloading the client, those who have already downloaded the software can still log in and play unrestricted. The sites are based offshore (e.g. Malta / Gibraltar) with EU licenses – balances and cashouts remain safe despite one country’s internet censorship.

If you are unable to download a poker client simply use a cheap VPN service such as StrongVPN or HideMyAss to do so. After install it is no longer necessary to use a VPN although some grinders continue to do so if playing over public wifi, for extra security. Site reps have confirmed on the forums that VPNs are not prohibited, with the exception of VPN use to play online from the US.

No Full Tilt Poker in Estonia?

PokerStars obtained the assets of Full Tilt Poker as part of its agreement with the US Department of Justice and re-opened the online room for real money play in some regulated EU countries on Nov 6th, 2012.

Unfortunately PokerStars has stated that they currently have no plans to seek licenses to operate Full Tilt Poker (FTP) in Estonia, Denmark, France, Italy, Spain, or Belgium. Full Tilt no longer offers rakeback and has 1/10th the traffic of PokerStars.
