I used to play at pokerstars. But now I can't play with real money in my country. The solution would be of course for them to start accepting Bitcoin!

Is there any way to press Pokerstars to start accepting BTC?
Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

If they cannot do business in your country then using bitcoin to break the law would just make them liable for prosecution, no sane executive would allow that.

There are a few bitcoin poker sites, just move your business there...

Just buy some chips to use there and pay with BTC. Some user sell this thing in currency exchange section. The price could be higher but of course thats the only way to get the chip with BTC for now

Technically, they wouldn't be doing nothing wrong since BTC is legal and not subjected to VAT in Europe so it would be like a workaround and not an illegal act.
All major companies do the same kind of workaround crap... why wouldn't they?

Bitcoin is not illegal.  Allowing players to bet from countries where it is illegal, is illegal.  It does not matter the currency used.
