Key Takeaways
  • Citing “an effort to adapt to a constantly changing environment,” PokerStars has decided to limit its service at its French online poker room to only players within France.

  • PokerStars would be better positioned for shared liquidity pacts between two or more European segregated markets if they operated in all of those markets under a similar policy of access.
