On Wednesday night, news broke that PokerStars had been granted approval to launch in the United States. After an unprecedented review process by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE), one that included sworn interviews with more than 70 individuals, Amaya was granted permission to launch PokerStars and Full Tilt in the Garden State.
It's unknown when Amaya will launch operations, but when they do they'll join the ranks of WSOP.com, 888, party poker and Borgata as online poker providers in New Jersey.
