Wednesday, 1 February 2017 00:00

Manx-based e-Gaming giant PokerStars says it's the first licensed online casino and poker operator under new Czech Republic laws.

The Onchan firm's parent company Amaya was awarded a license at the weekend by the Czech State Supervision of Gambling and Lotteries Department.

PokerStars says it plans to launch its Czech site shortly - offering caisson games on desktop computers and mobiles.

The central European country introduced new e-Gaming regulations at the start of January - the approval means PokerStars now holds licenses in 17 countries.
