ISLE OF MAN, UK, AUGUST 26, 2009 - A number of recent commentaries have included estimates about our market share in the US which are significantly wrong.
While PokerStars continues to serve customers in the US based on the legal advice we have received, in terms of both player liquidity and revenue, the US market represents substantially less than 50% of our business.
After discounting the US market, our liquidity and revenues are still more than twice that of any other online poker competitor.
