The Stars Group Casinos
The Stars Group has been known as Amaya, Amaya Gaming Group, and Rational Group. All of the mergers and iterations eventually resulted in the biggest step in the company’s history – the acquisition from Flutter Entertainment announced in mid-2020.
The Canadian company was headquartered in Toronto, Ontario. It used to distribute different products such as casino, poker, and sports betting solutions. Several brands were used for this distribution, including Full Tilt Poker, PokerStars, BetStars, etc.
The company created an entirely separate division in charge of online gaming products – Stars Interactive. The subsidiary was based in the Isle of Man, in the town of Onchan where PokerStars had an office. Stars Interactive received licenses allowing the developer to operate across different jurisdictions in the U.S., Europe, and other parts of the world. These licenses were issued by the relevant authorities in Malta and the Isle of Man.
...What should you know about The Stars Group?
Amaya bought the corporation behind PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker in June 2014. This is when The Stars Group was created. The huge deal resulted in another important part of the company’s history as well. The developer was publicly listed, making it the biggest gaming entity to be listed in a stock exchange. After several other acquisitions, such as the deal for Sky Betting & Gaming, the announcement for the Flutter acquisition was made in 2019. Less than a year later, the deal was finalized.
The former CEO of the company, David Baazov, was praised for his contribution to the company’s development and for the development of the gaming world as a whole. Still, in 2014, Baazov was charged with fraud and was forced to leave. The court trials took more than four years and the company was sued to repay $870 million in losses at one point. Later, this case was dropped.
