In recent years, several European countries have passed a series of laws that either forced Poker Stars to temporarily leave their markets or made it much more difficult for the room to operate. As a result, player traffic of the former online poker industry leader has fallen, but PS tables still fill up quickly enough.
We also note that in 2022, Stars stopped working with Russian clients after Putin's military invasion of Ukraine.
As for the USA, Stars currently operate only in three states, namely Pennsylvania, Michigan, and New Jersey.
