The ruling from the state's high court reinstated a Franklin Circuit Court judgement against PokerStars.com after the state appeals court rejected the collection of the gambling losses in 2018. At the time, the total stood at $870 million, plus interest.
Gov. Andy Beshear said in a news release that the total amount that would be ordered recovered was nearly $1.3 billion.
“The Commonwealth of Kentucky has losses due to PokerStars’ illegal internet gambling criminal syndicate,” the court wrote in its ruling. “The amount recovered in this case may not cover the actual cost suffered by the Commonwealth of Kentucky.”
It is illegal to play online poker for money in Kentucky. A state law says people who lose $5 or more in illegal wagers have six months to file a lawsuit to recover the money. If they don’t, the law says “any other person” can sue to recover the money.
The Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet filed the lawsuit in 2010. From 2006 to 2011, the state said, about 34,000 Kentucky residents lost more than $290 million wagered on PokerStars’ website. The company later blocked Kentucky residents from using the site.
In 2015, Franklin Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate agreed with the cabinet's suit and ordered the company to pay back $290 million. Wingate then tripled that amount against the company for making what he said was “a calculation that breaking the law was good for business.”
Beshear said Thursday that the state would “take aggressive steps to collect the judgment for the benefit of all Kentuckians.”

An emailed statement from Dublin, Ireland-based Flutter, the company that merged with PokerStars parent The Stars Group, said it was “wholly surprised by today’s ruling and strongly disputes the basis of this judgement which, it believes, runs contrary to the modern U.S. legal precedent.”

The statement said PokerStars' gross revenues generated in Kentucky from 2006 to 2011 were around $18 million. The company said it is confident any amount it is ultimately liable for will be a “limited proportion of the reinstated judgement.”

Summer Poker has the same rules as Texas Holdem. Texas Holdem is a game of both chance and skill. The object of the game is to eliminate all opponents at the table by taking their money. Beat Holdem by betting on hands that you feel are good, and folding when you don't feel confident. That said, there are a number of different strategies to adopt while playing this poker game. Sometimes, you can win a round by betting as if your hand is much better than it actually is. This is called 'bluffing', and the best poker players know when to bet while bluffing as often as when they have a good hand.
Keep playing Summer-Poker.com until you collect your opponents' chips or lose all of yours. If you have lots of money, you can always leave and come back with Summer Poker’s innovative Resume feature. Or, in the case you lose, just restart the game and you’ll be right back at $1,000 again!
