PokerStars Merger Amaya – Rumors of a possible merger with the largest poker site and Amaya Network have been circulating this week.

Amaya Network have responded to the recent 30% increase of trading shares and potential merger with PokerStars.

The merger would see PokerStars entering the regulated US market under a new name or company as a loophole around the bad actor clause. PokerStars have failed to receive approval to operate in New Jersey, Nevada, Delaware and California.

The largest online poker site was suspended for up to 2 years for operating after the 2006 UIGEA came into law, preventing PokerStars from getting any US poker player action since Black Friday.
