PokerStars to Return to U.S. on March 21

Ever since Black Friday shattered the online poker scene in the U.S., American players have been waiting with bated breath for the day PokerStars, the world's leading online poker operator, would make its return. Nearly four years later, that date has been announced — PokerStars will open its regulated online poker room in New Jersey on March 21, ABC News reported.

PokerStars will be entering into the market with two competitors. Borgata and current online partner bwin.party have the largest market share with a little over 50 percent of the revenue, while Caesar's and online partner 888 have the rest.
