Online poker giant PokerStars has opened a second office on the Isle of Man as the company continues to expand on the self-governing British Crown dependency.
PokerStars moved its headquarters to the Isle of Man in 2005 where it set up in Douglas Bay Complex on Onchan Head, later purchasing the building in 2012. When PokerStars first began its journey in the Isle of Man, the company only employed five staff. Twelve years later, that number has risen to almost 400.
The new PokerStars office can accommodate 41 members of staff — 20 are currently operating from the new building — and is situated in Quay West on Bridge Road in Douglas, the capital of Isle of Man.
