Big news for online gamers in the Garden State.
Last week, Amaya Inc. announced that the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement has authorized it to operate the PokerStars and Full Tilt brands in New Jersey.
The approval follows a high profile and admittedly unprecedented review by the DGE of Amaya’s acquisition of PokerStars and Full Tilt in August 2014.
In short, the approval enables the entry of the world’s largest poker business into the United States.
“We are very pleased to add New Jersey to the long list of regulated markets that have found PokerStars and Full Tilt suitable to offer real-money online gaming,” said David Baazov, Chairman and CEO of Amaya. “I want to thank the DGE for their thorough and fair review of our business. We look forward to bringing our popular brands, innovative technology, marketing prowess and world-class security and game integrity to the growing New Jersey online gaming market. We anticipate providing additional details of our launch plans in the near future.”
