Introduction
Amaya Gaming has been around in the online gambling market for quite some time, but recently put its name on the map in 2014 when it acquired Rational Group (which operates Full Tilt Poker and Poker Stars) for $4.9 billion. At first, Amaya Gaming ran these two leading sites as poker-only platforms but eventually decided to branch out.
Full Tilt Poker eventually became Full Tilt, so that the site would be able to provide players with a wide range of online pokies and casino games. While PokerStars did not officially rebrand, the platform also started offering up online casino games as well as online poker products.
