The end of March brought up-and-down news for Amaya Inc., the parent company of PokerStars and Full Tilt, but the beginning of April was met with positive headlines. On Friday, April 1, 2016, Amaya announced that the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) had renewed the company's approval to operate in the Garden State.
Similar to the first approval, the renewal has been granted for six months, at the end of which Amaya will need to seek further approval to continue to operate in the regulated real money online gaming market of New Jersey.
