Malta-based Unibet has opted to cease taking new Russian poker players and online gamblers one month after the company was placed on a country “black list”.

"Unibet has taken the decision to temporarily close registrations from Russia. This means that it will no longer be possible for customers from Russia to sign up on Unibet.com or Maria.com," the room stated. "This change will take place immediately, but will not affect existing customers. It will also still be possible for customers to sign up from all other Russian-speaking countries and those markets should not be affected at all."

As a result of this process, "Russia will no longer be listed as an option for country of residence on the registration form of Unibet.com or Maria.com."
Russia has begun to crack down on Web gambling sites operating from outside that country.
