Amaya Gaming, the parent company of PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker, have been granted permission to operate in the state of New Jersey but, before they can do so, Amaya must fire four executives deemed “unfit’ by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE).
On Friday, the DGE released a report of its investigation of Amaya’s $four.9b acquisition of the PokerStars and Complete Tilt, coming to the conclusion that the four executives could no longer serve on the company’s board.
Those four execs are: Michael Hazel, Stars former CFO Israel Rosenthal, director of operations for the Rational Group and a “long-time buddy of the Scheinberg family” Charles Fabian, former head of games systems development at Complete Tilt’s parent Pocket Kings Consulting and application manager Serge Bourenkov, who began working at Pyr following Black Friday, so he would appear to be in the clear. The deadline for their dismissal is January 30, 2016.
Amaya and PokerStars will operate through a partnership with Atlantic City’s Resorts Casino Hotel.
