Amaya-Caesars partnership in legalization online gambling in the US

Caesars Entertainments and Amaya Gaming, the two leaders of online gambling in North America, are working together to support legislative initiative in the US. Both sides confirmed this cooperation on Monday.

The Executive Vice President of Caesars Entertainments Jan Jones-Blackhurst informed Chris Krafcik from Gambling Compliance that Amaya’s PokerStars’ licensing in New Jersey suffers some delays.

In confirmation of their cooperation Jan Jones-Blackhurst told that Amaya Gaming is one of the strongest partners to combat opposition together.

The representatives of Amaya Gaming have also born out the collaboration between the two giants in a weekend editorial at FlushDraw. The cooperation between Amaya Gaming and Caesars Entertainments New Jersey is a long story, although there were some difficulties between Caesars and PokerStars which Amaya bought last summer.

However, the conflict has been paling after PokerStars became the company owned by Amaya. The Director of Communication in PokerStars Eric Hollreiser explained, “The cooperation between Amaya Gaming and Caesars Entertainments has a long history. The purchase of PokerStars can’t change the situation. We are going to continue working together in the direction of promoting US online gambling at federal and state levels.”
