On the pokerstars k platform in sports betting but also in poker. They do not respond at all to the messages of the contact form. They withheld a tax of 53 euros on my poker winnings, but I lost them the same day on the bet. The next day and with 0 account balance they deducted 53 euros and went -53 euros !!!! I have sent them at least 5 times to remove my wrong withholding and they do not even answer me !! I have also asked them for another possibility of withdrawal by submitting the appropriate documents and they have not answered me at all. It is incredibly tragic to deal with them. They basically do not communicate with me. Sad

Thank you for your help. I changed language yesterday at Pokerstars so I can speak English with someone in live chat because they haven't answered me in a month. I have talked to 3 different people and they tell me that they will see my case. It's been 4 days that nothing has changed. I remembered pokerstars as a serious poker platform that was consistent and decent and probably translated into something completely unreliable.

I do not think anyone will answer. The issue is clear. How to deduct a tax on winnings that have arisen from a poker game and have been lost in sports betting on the same day and before the session closes? If I had profits and had withdrawn them it would be logical to have a negative balance. But that did not happen. Also, if this tax is to be withheld anyway, I should not be allowed to bet it before the session closes. In any case it is their own fault and from there the customer service issue arises. How can you not respond to a customer for a month? Is this a sign of serious company?

Hello Viliam,


thanks for reaching out.


After reviewing the account for the player, we see that taxes were only withheld once, at the end of the session, at 18:59.


According to Greek tax rules, taxes are withheld from any profit made, even if the profits have been used to play. The tax deduction was correct.


These and other tax rules for poker can be found on the website:

https://www.pokerstars.gr/poker/room/support/pwt-faq/


The player has now also receive an email with additional information from the relevant team.


We hope this helps.


Kind regards

As long as you deduct the payout tax from poker, you should not allow that amount to be used to gamble. Poker winnings were lost on your own company bet. The fact that your system took out an automatic tax payment and charged it as a negative balance should not have been my problem but yours. If I had withdrawn this money before I was taxed then I would have accepted that the tax is pending. I repeat that you are the same company that manages both poker and betting. Since there is a different way of taxing between the two, these two games should be distinct. It is not possible to lose and pay tax.
