Into engaqhelekanga yenzekile kwicandelo lezemidlalo kunyaka ophelileyo kwaye namhlanje kulungiselelwe ukuba ne-New Jersey.

I-PokerStars ikhule ngathi yintsholongwane de iSebe lezoBulungisa laxhuzula iziqhoboshi ngo-2011, lisusa iifemu kwimisebenzi yokungcakaza ngokungekho mthethweni kwaye lihlasela iPokerStars kunye nabo bakhuphisana nayo, abanye babo abanjengoFull Tilt Poker, bagcina iincwadi ezithandabuzekayo. I-PokerStars ihlawule ityala le-731, yafumana iiasethi kunye namatyala eTilt Full kunye nomseki wayo, umseki wakwa-Israeli u-Isai Scheinberg uhlala ephantsi kwesimangalo.
Inkampani yaqala ukubuyela kwimeko yesiqhelo. Ngokwenyani, khange ifune nokufumana kwakhona. I-PokerStars ibe yinkomo yenkomo kangangokuba nasemva kokuba ehlawule imali eyi-731 yezigidi zokuhlala, ephulukana neyona ntengiso inenzuzo ngosuku olunye, ethenga umpu opheleleyo kwi-Tilt entlokweni yakhe, kwaye enenkokeli phantsi kwesimangalo, inkampani yathatha i-1.1 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ngo-2013 Kwaye bafumana umvuzo we-420 yezigidi zeedola-umda wenzuzo omangalisayo. Iqhubekile nokwenza ishishini ngokukhawuleza kwiindawo ezininzi- kodwa hayi eUnited States. Oko kuzokutshintsha.
I-PolitickerNJ ifundile ukuba i-New Jersey kungekudala iza kuba ngurhulumente wokuqala apho iyakubhaliswa ngokusemthethweni kwi-PokerStars. Ngokukhawuleza kusasa ngoLwesithathu, iCandelo lokuNyanzeliswa kweMidlalo liza kubhengeza ukuba liyigqibile ingxelo eya kuthi icebise ukuba iPokerStars inikwe imvume yokusebenza eNew Jersey, apho ukungcakaza kwi-Intanethi kusemthethweni kwabo baseNew Jersey ngexesha Ukubheja. Kunye nale ngxelo kuya kuza i-odolo, eyaziwa njengokurhoxiswa kwentengiselwano.
Oku kuyakwenza ukuba ngokutsho kwenkampani enye ngaphakathi eAmaya, eyalile ukubonwa ngenxa yomsizi wombane osemthethweni ohamba nePokerStars, kokokuqala ukuba ibe nelayisensi eMelika, ngakumbi apha eNew Jersey , Ukuqhuba iqonga lePoker Stars. Ngokomthombo osondeleyo kwintengiselwano, u-Amaya uqalile inkampani eneenkcukacha ezingqalileyo, ebizwa ngokuba yiAmaya NJ ngokukodwa ukuqhuba iPokerStars eNJ.
Inkampani ethe yafana nehlazo yafunyanwa njani kwenye yezona mveliso zilawulwa kakhulu eMelika ngokuqinisekileyo inemvelaphi yezopolitiko. Kwasekuqaleni kwehlobo, u-Amaya watsala igqwetha lamandla kunye nelungu leqela lotshintsho uChris Christie u-Nicholas Menas kude neFox Rothschild, apho wayedlale iminyaka eAtlantic City kubaxhasi abanjengoRevel. NgoNick njengomcebisi wasendlwini, inkampani yazisa umdlali wamandla waseRiphabhlikhi kunye nosihlalo weBurlington County GOP uBill Layton ukuba baqhube inqaku kumzamo wokuphembelela.
I-Menas-Layton combo ibonakalise ukuba yinto eyoyikisayo kwixesha elidlulileyo, ngoku kutsha nje amanqaku amakhulu ophumeleleyo kunyaka ophelileyo xa bekhokele iinzame zokufumana i-MGM Resorts International. unelayisensi yokushishina ukuwa kokugqibela. Yayingeyonto imbi ngelo xesha ezinye ii-Casinos ze-AC zazicima rhoqo. Indawo yokuncamathela kukuba i-MGM yayifundisiwe ngaphambili ukuba kuya kufuneka ithengise i-50% yenzala yayo kwi-Borgata ukuvula enye ikhasino. Ekugqibeleni, iKhomishini yoLawulo lweCasino yaseNew Jersey yanikezela ngokuqinileyo imvume yokuvula ngaphandle kokunikezela umdla wayo kwenye yeepropathi ezisebenza ngcono.
Elinye igqwetha u-PolitickerNJ uthethe wachaza ukuba ukurhoxiswa kwentengiselwano kuya kuvumela u-Amaya, obe ngumnikezeli ngeshishini ukuya kwishishini ekumeni kakuhle ixesha elithile, ukuba abe ngumrhwebi kumthengi kwaye ajongane ngqo nabadlali bamandla. Ngokomthombo osondeleyo kwintengiselwano inkampani ibhekise kwiPokerStars 'entloko eyadlulayo ngokubonisa ukuba ukuhlala kwayo akuzange kuthintele iiNkampani zePokerStars ekunikezeleni ngemali yenyani kwi-intanethi e-US xa kuvumelekile phantsi komthetho ofanelekileyo, njengoko kunjalo eNew IJersey. Umthombo ubonise ukuba ezinye iinkampani ezininzi ezingene kwiindawo zokuhlala kunye ne-DOJ malunga neendlela zeshishini, ezinje ngeCiticorp kunye neJPMorgan zihlawule isohlwayo ngaphandle kokujongana nemida okanye izithintelo kwimpahla yeenkampani.
Kwangokunjalo, umthetho waseNew Jersey awunyanzeli zithintelo ekusebenziseni iiasethi zenkampani emva kokuhlawulwa, ukususwa 'kwabenzi bobubi' kunye nokucocwa kwenkampani. Ababukeli beSixeko saseAtlantic abaneminyaka ethile banokukhumbula ukuba iKhomishini ifumene iHilton New Jersey ingakulungelanga ukufumana ilayisensi. UHilton wathengisa iiasethi zakhe zeGadi kaRhulumente kwiTrump Castle Associates, eyavula ngo-1985 njengoTrump Marina.
Ukuhlaselwa kwakhona kwePokerStars kunxweme lwaseMelika ngokungathandabuzekiyo kuya kubangela ukungqubana okukhulu kwishishini lokungcakaza kwi-intanethi, esele ibonile iprofayili yayo iphakanyisiwe ngentengiso ebangelisayo yeFanDuel kunye neDraftKings. Ngapha koko, u-Amaya ungumnikazi womdlali wesithathu kwishishini lemihla ngemihla, inkampani ebizwa ngokuba yiStarsDraft. Okwangoku, kufana nokuba ngu-RC Cola kwilizwe leCoke kunye nePepsi, kodwa eli shishini liselula ngokwaneleyo - kwaye linempikiswano ngokwaneleyo, kunye neCongressman Pallone sele ekhokele ityala ukuphanda ngokusesikweni kwayo - ukuba kungekudala ukubhengeza abaphumeleleyo kunye naboyisiweyo.
