PokerStars to launch their offer with legal games in Portugal

Poker and casino games have been launched in Portugal on PokerStars, following receipt of a local license to offer such games in the country. The license was granted pursuant to Portugal’s recently developed and implemented local, independent regulatory and licensing regime.

Poker room commented: "PokerStars will maintain the very highest levels of player fund protection by segregating Portuguese player funds under trust agreements, as is done in all markets where PokerStars offers its products. In the meantime, while Portugal remains a closed liquidity poker market, PokerStars intends to actively work with applicable Portuguese authorities to help further develop and enhance the Portuguese regulatory framework for poker, including, without limitation, through the promotion of shared liquidity. "

Upon launch, PokerStars will offer Portuguese players poker and casino games such as blackjack and roulette (single and multiplayer) on desktop (Windows and Mac), and mobile (iOS and Android).
