PokerStars win billion dollar Kentucky case on appeal (for now)

The Stars Group has seen the Court of Appeal overturn a Circuit Judge’s order for the online gambling group to pay the State of Kentucky more than a billion dollars in a case stretching back to 2010.

For the second time in a matter of months, The Stars Group (TSG) has proven that they won’t need to climb into the Octagon to learn a few death grips from their new partners: The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), they can handle themselves.

After the TSG legal team gave Gordon Vayo a Hulk Hogan style leg drop it was time for the State of Kentucky to feel the python-like grip of the guns of the online gambling giant.

Staring at the red taillights and exhaust fumes of this thing, back in 2010, State Cabinet Secretary, John Tilley, thought he was innovative by suing PokerStars for failing to remove their hit songs from the state’s online gambling jukebox between the dates of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (2006) and Black Friday (2011).
