Extension of partnership brings total support to more than £1.5 million

ONCHAN, Isle of Man – March 2017 – PokerStars, an Amaya Inc. (NASDAQ: AYA; TSX: AYA) brand, has announced its corporate giving programme, Helping Hands, has extended its partnership with global sports and education charity Right To Play for a further two years, taking its total support to more than £1.5 million.

Right To Play is a global charity which uses sport and play to educate and empower over one million children in some of the world’s poorest communities across Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Their approach is simple but effective: if learning is fun then children are better able to absorb lessons. Through their specially-designed games, vulnerable children learn critical life skills, such as leadership, self-confidence, how to avoid disease and how to resolve conflicts without violence.

Extending this partnership for a further two years will provide Right To Play with additional funding of £600,000, which will help the charity to continue to deliver high impact programmes and scale up its work. This includes building on its play-based approach in the classroom to help engage children in their core academic studies, such as maths, science and literacy, and to drive up the quality of education.
