In the latest turn of events in the American Gaming Associations (AGA) opposition to PokerStars proposed purchase of the Atlantic Club Casino in Atlantic City, PokerStars has appealed the AGA opposition in a 15 page letter to the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement.
According to Journalist John Brennan for the Meadowlands Matter a daily sports blog, the online poker giant has requested that New Jersey regulators ignore the AGA’s request to participate in the proceedings.
PokerStars says in the letter according to the blog that “the AGA lacks a ‘significant interest in the outcome’ of the proceedings, is not likely to add constructively to their case & its participation would be destructively anti-competitive thereby doing a disservice to the people of New Jersey.”
Lawyers for the company say that the Division of Gaming Enforcement can deliver its own verdict “without the unsolicited assistance of a self-appointed group of Rational’s competitors” & that the AGA’s sole interest in the issue is purely “economic warfare”.
