PokerStars Is Coming Back To America

Twenty months ago, PokerStars, the biggest online poker company in the world, essentially got kicked out of America. The U.S. government sued the company for operating an illegal gambling business, shut down its U.S.-facing web site, and indicted PokerStars’ founder. The company’s bitter competitors were elated and the publicly-traded stocks of some of them soared in the immediate aftermath. The rich online poker market in America effectively ended.
