PokerStars Secure One Year Danish Sports Betting License

PokerStars continue to roll out their nonpoker products with news of a one-year license agreement with the Danish online gaming regulator Spillemynddigheden.

Danish PokerStars players liking sports betting flutter will be delighted to learn that they can do so from the sanctity of their PokerStars account. The world’s largest online poker room has added to their ever spreading panoply of products by inking a deal with the Danish online gaming regulator Spillemynddigheden.

Stars have been handed a one-year ‘prove yourself’ license. They will begin operations in the new year. The next goal will be to secure a longer lasting five-year license. Eric Hollreiser, Vice President of Corporate Communications for Amaya released the standard print and file press release stating how excited they are to be working within a compliant, secure and competitive marketplace.

The Danish market is the second, in the previous four months, that has felt the long spidery legs of the PokerStars sports betting product. In August, they announced plans to move into the Irish sports betting sphere. I would like to bring you a sturdy list of their full licenses, but that information is a little disembodied.
