So as the headline says, rumour has it that Poker Stars is in the later stages of a deal with the DoJ and Full Tilt that could see them buy out Full Tilt, pay off all the FT players left owing money, pay off the DoJ, get their executives off and relaunch the Full Tilt brand and carry on business as usual becoming an even bigger behemoth of poker than they already are.

Seems money can buy you love after all.
 


It is unofficially confirmed.

Also, there are companies that have online poker licences in Nevada already.
 
You are forgetting one small bit ,
They are only going to payout the non usa players.....

A company called "Global cash access inc."

Also shuffle master(the company who bought ongame) has been granted one.

bwin.party applied not long ago.

Nevada gaming license means squat though.

you are wrong.

Actually, you are right, but for the wrong reasons :)

US players are going to be repaid by your DoJ. Repayment to the ROW players will be handled by whoever the FTP assets are forfeited to.

I could be wrong (and please point me to any article that claims otherwise) but I'm quite certain no one has actually been granted a license yet, they're all still just applicants. Even as recently as today, 888 is claiming they're going to be "the first" in the US through a deal with Trump. If someone had actually been granted a license to operate online in the US already it would have been met with much greater fanfare throughout the industry. It hasn't.
 
they don't operate, as there aren't federal regulations yet. Just intraste. That is why Nevada license doesn't mean anything. With it you can operate a web site that can accept players only from that stay. Ohio(?) has very similar regulation too.

The companies you mentioned are authorized online poker testing agents, not licensees.
