As well as that, the majority of the casinos across the world have also been closed to minimalise the risk of the spread of the deadly virus. However, the online world has been more popular during this time, with many players opting to play games online as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/2020\/03\/29\/lockdown-countries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"majority of the world is on lockdown (opens in a new tab)\">majority of the world is on lockdown<\/a>. But, what else has been happening across the globe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"negreanu-calls-for-postponement-of-wsop\">Negreanu Calls For Postponement Of WSOP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Daniel Negreanu is one of the biggest names in the world of\npoker, but he has taken a stance that would shock nobody during this time of\nhistory. As part of his role as the GGPoker, he was questioned on his stance\nregarding whether the World Series of Poker should be taking place as planned\nthis year. He revealed that he believes that chances shouldn\u2019t be taken during\nthis time of uncertainty. He admitted that the date should be pushed back when\nthe world has settled down, and the virus has finally been beaten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Negreanu admitted that the health and safety of players and\nstaff should be of the utmost importance, and revealed that he thinks it is\nnearly impossible for the event to go on as planned this year. The event was\ndue to take place between the 26<sup>th<\/sup> May and 15<sup>th<\/sup> July in\nLas Vegas, but with all Vegas casinos shutdown, that would seem virtually\nimpossible at this point. A delay could be the most likely option, but an\nannouncement should be made in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"asian-country-shuts-all-casinos\">Asian Country Shuts All Casinos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While some countries have reacted slowly to the outbreak, the\nCambodian Prime Minister has taken no chances. Hun Sen revealed on Sunday that\nhe was ordering the closure of all casinos in the country to eliminate the\nchances of the virus spreading around the country. The country has seen an\nincrease over the past couple of days, with 107 cases recorded on Monday. The\nnews would come as a blow to the gamblers in the country, with all of the 125\ncasinos now being closed for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swedish casinos have been closed for over a month now, and\nrecent figures released by the gambling authorities in the country have shown\nthat a third of gamblers in the country have searched for unlicensed casinos. The\nresearch by BonusFinder has found that there have been an increased number of\nsearches for these casinos since the outbreak of COVID-19. The majority of\nthese searches have included the words\u2019 unlicensed casino\u2019, which means players\nare taking unnecessary risks to play the games that they are normally used to\nin casinos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, no chances need to be taken by any players around the world, as they can find the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneypokersites.com\/review\/\">very best regulated casinos right here<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The poker world has been rocked since the outbreak of the Coronavirus, as hundreds of events have been cancelled due to the pandemic.
