UK GAMBLING COMMISSION AWARDS LICENSES TO AMAYA, POKERSTARS AND FULL TILT

Amaya Gaming Group Inc.'s gaming brands, including PokerStars and Full Tilt, have obtained a continuation licence to allow uninterrupted service to consumer and business customers in the United Kingdom. The continuation licence for PokerStars and Full Tilt was awarded by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission in recognition of the existing licences held in the Isle of Man. PokerStars and Full Tilt have operated in the United Kingdom as white-listed companies approved to do business throughout the country on the basis of the existing Isle of Man licensing. Amaya's B2B on-line business has also received the necessary continuation licences to continue supplying U.K.-facing on-line gaming operators with Amaya's on-line gaming content and technology.

New client available from Monday

The new PokerStars and Full Tilt U.K. software will be available to players from 2 p.m. GMT on Nov. 3. This will be downloaded and activated automatically after that time -- players simply need to load the software and log in as normal. The log-in details, account balance and history of U.K. players will not be affected by the change, and U.K. players will still be able to enjoy the same range of games with players from around the world.

Top level of player fund protection

The U.K. Gambling Commission has introduced a rating system for player fund protection. PokerStars and Full Tilt have volunteered to apply the very highest standards of player fund protection, with the use of independent trust accounts that PokerStars and Full Tilt have pioneered on the Isle of Man.

This licence from the U.K. Gambling Commission underscores the strengths of the PokerStars and Full Tilt platforms and provides further confidence that customers can rely on the integrity and security of the sites. Poker is a very popular game in the United Kingdom, with some of the worlds' leading poker players based in the U.K. These include Team PokerStars pro Victoria Coren Mitchell, the first two-time winner of the European Poker Tour.

With the U.K. continuation licence, PokerStars and Full Tilt add another jurisdiction to their industry-leading portfolio of 12 locally licensed jurisdictions, which already include major European nations, including France, Italy and Spain.
