PokerStars will offer Portuguese players games such as blackjack and roulette (single and multi-player) on both desktop and all mobile devices.
TheAmaya-owned
company has been using Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo as a spokesperson
for its recent marketing campaigns.
In the meantime, while Portugal remains a closed liquidity poker market,
PokerStars intends to actively work with applicable Portuguese authorities to
help further develop and enhance the Portuguese regulatory framework for poker
via the promotion of shared liquidity.
Eric Hollreiser, Vice-President of Corporate Communications for Amaya, said: "We are very happy to offer the world’s leading online poker brand to Portuguese players under a local regulatory framework that ensures rigorous consumer protection and gaming integrity.
"This approval demonstrates our commitment to the responsible growth of online gaming by supporting local regulation that protects players, creates a viable marketplace and provides revenue for local governments.”
