If pokerstars did not steal so much money from the players with various commissions that have increased or another methods then things will change for the better. I understand they stay pretty good in this industry but if they do not do something for the players, then they will suffer a lot. They buy completely different competitors but that does not help too much if they do not have a good tactic for amaya and his clients.

They are expanding all the time. Wonder how many more companies they are going to acquire in the near future. First they had only poker games, now they are in, in all the sectors of online gambling. It wouldnt be a surprise seeing them in the "land" industry also...
