    American Gaming Association attempting to block Pokerstars' gaming license in New Jersey

    http://www.pokernews.com/news/2013/0...utm_source=rss

    Basically, the AGA filed a brief to New Jersey's Casino Control Commission, advising them to effectively block Pokerstars' purchase of the Atlantic Club Casino in Atlantic City.

    The AGA is attempting to do this in order to prevent Pokerstars from legally operating an intrastate online poker room when online poker becomes legal in New Jersey, which is expected to happen soon.

    The brief states the following:

    AGA today opposes the PokerStars Petition because the integrity of the gaming industry would be gravely compromised by any regulatory approvals of PokerStars, a business built on deceit, chicanery, and systematic flouting of U.S. law. Any action allowing PokerStars to be licensed would send a damaging message to the world of gaming, and to the world beyond gaming, that companies that engage in chronic lawbreaking are welcome in the licensed gaming business. That message would dramatically undermine public confidence in gaming regulation and could cripple the industry’s public image for many years.
    Their argument is that Pokerstars should be denied a license because they offered illegal online gambling after the passage of the UIGEA in 2006.
