Poker Stars Wynn Partnership

Poker Stars and Wynn have announced that they will be working together to pass legislation in the United States. This is a historic partnership that will likely become a major turning point for proponents of legalizing online poker.

Wynn operates the Wynn Resort & Casino and the Encore Resort in Las Vegas as well as additional casinos in Macau. Wynn in the past has been against online gambling but with the tides turning and many see online gambling as inevitable it was only time before Wynn and other major players in the industry partner up with established online gaming sites.

Poker Stars is currently the largest online poker room and has hundreds of thousands of US players already playing on the site. They currently run everything offshores but have been fighting for legislation against Las Vegas casinos but with the recent deal…likely legislation will finally happen as both parties will benefit from legalizing online gambling for United States players.

Poker Stars + Wynn = PokerStarsWynn.com

In a press release Wynn has said if online poker is legalized they will open PokerStarsWynn.com. Which will likely use Poker Stars software with the Wynn’s brand and will create a monster brand from the get-go.

PokerStarsWynn.com is currently a parking page (a page with ads) and is not in use by either company. They likely own the domain and haven’t figured out what they want to put on it because they won’t allow online poker on the site until it’s legalized which could takes months or worse case scenario years to have legislation passed.
