Amaya completes acquisition of PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker
The biggest acquisition in the history of online gaming happened when Amaya Gaming bought Rational Group, the owner and operator of PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker, for $4.9 billion last month. Now the Amaya shareholders have also approved the deal, so it's all official.
Both Amaya's CEO, David Baazov, and Rational Group founder and CEO Mark Scheinberg have agreed that the acquisition will help PokerStars to continue growing and being the best in the market.
The Scheinberg family, who owns PokerStars is delighted that their product is going to be expanded by Amaya, who plans on becoming a leader in the whole online gaming scene, extending themselves to markets like social gaming, betting, online casino and more.
Amaya has already started to implement their softwares into the Rational Group frame, they recently added casino games and slots to the Full Tilt Poker (they recently changed their domain names to Full Tilt, to show that they are not just a poker site anymore) software, and is looking to add more.
Amaya also has a licence to operate in the U.S., so the chances that PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker return to the U.S. market in the near future are vastly improved.
