Could this have anything to do with the pokerstars client playing up recently?

Dont they need the permission of a cartel office, the European Union or something like that? Pokerstars and Full Tilt would have a very dominant market position!

Any more news or reports? Such a big move by Stars to consolidate the non U.S market if true.

Quote:

If true, the takeover is a powerful statement of intent from Pokerstars that they fully intend to cement their current market dominance outside of the U.S in anticipation of wide-spread legalization later this year.

Wide-spread legalization? This year? Really?

*fingers crossed*

Poker terminals in restaurant FTW. Just not in the kids play zone.

At first I was really happy about this, FTP software + stars support is Teh nuts, but then Stars will take monopoly of online poker for sure. It's good if stars buys FTP, because players get their money back, but then it sucks because then stars will only go downhill from there. I really want players to get their money back, but not stars taking monopoly.

So if this happens, does that mean Pokerstars will come back to the US immediately (because of the US government's interpretation of the wire act that online poker is legal), or just that they'll come back as soon as legalization is codified by the US congress or the various individual states?

Apparently Laurent Tapie will communicate about it this afternoon.
