June 15, 2014 | The world’s largest online poker site, PokerStars will be sold to Amaya Gaming for a reported $4.9 billion in cash. PokerStars has offered itself up to sale to the small Canadian gambling equipment supplier Amaya Gaming in hopes that it will give the online gambling company leverage to reenter US markets. The highly popular poker website was pushed out of the United States following the passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act by President George W. Bush, forcing the Israeli-born Canadian founder Isai Scheinberg to move the company’s headquarters to the Isle of Man.
