[QUOTE="batu2, post: 2196447, member: 104806"] We review the interesting history of the living creator of the red spade , the world number one . PokerStars is one of the largest companies in the world . Almost impossible to watch any sports on TV without distinguishing any betting site announcement . It is certainly the biggest in its market , but it always was. Isai Scheinberg , a Canadian Jewish descent , reserved , withdrawn, enjoys not appear publicly with his family created the company in Costa Rica , to subsequently move to Isle of Man, a British Crown Dependency which allowed for a 0 % business tax and avoid U.S. regulation of online gambling sites . PokerStars The big break came in 2003 , at the WSOP in Las Vegas . The event , full of pros , was the opportunity that online poker companies found to be known , and so it was that the company paid Scheinberg 37 players for them to come to the event on behalf of PokerStars. In addition, the sports network , ESPN , seemed to be interested in televising the event , which meant more exposure. Chris Moneymaker , one of the players who took a place on the bench of PokerStars then enrolling in a tournament for U $ S39 , was the revelation of the tournament. While no one expected anything of the amateur tournament had reached the end he sat at a table full of pros , and went from there with $ S2.5 million. This was the starting point for the poker boom . It had been brewing for a while , but with this, all gelled perfect . A man who went from paying $ 39 to be 2,500,000 ilusionó an entire litter of amateurs. People began to believe in herself . And that perfect wine for PokerStars , which in 2006 was already the second largest poker company in the world, just behind PartyGaming who at that time was already listed on the London Stock Exchange and through their site Party Poker poker company was more largest in the world by those times . However, all has not been an easy path for Scheinberg . The first and most important obstacle that was presented to PokerStars was the UIGEA ( Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act ) , passed in the U.S. Senate , which imposed financial barriers to companies processing payments related to online games "illegal" . It seemed that the future of online poker is coming down . Scheinberg But a smart businessman , this would not end their ambitions . For him ( and their lawyers) , the law concerned only gambling , such as blackjack or roulette , but poker was not in the squad : it was more than that . It was a game of skill, ability , more like chess than anything else , another of his passions . He saw no reason to ban the site for U.S. citizens , where it had been more successful . And so, with the latent possibility of losing everything, Scheinberg was all in a battle with U.S. law in defense of your site. Eventually , PokerStars had its way . It became the largest poker site online, especially when his main rival , PartyGaming PLC , had to close its operations at the expense of the UIGEA law , because by losing its circuit in the U.S., fell . Though that did not mean that here ended the trouble Scheinberg company . In 2011 , the Justice Department urged U.S. criminal charges against PokerStars , accusing him of illegal business and money laundering , forcing the site to shut down their operations in the country . However, perhaps not all is lost for the company: some states with economic problems could potentially allow the company back to Anglo-Saxon country , and expressed their desire to do so , but certainly no hindrance to the U.S. government . PokerStars The future depends on the ability they have to be accountable to justice from his past , or perhaps reaching any agreement. And that will be even more difficult with several charges Scheinberg above . In 2012 , PokerStars became even more powerful. After a strange agreement with the Justice Department of the United States, who had made several charges against Full Tilt Poker and its fall was imminent , PokerStars bought the company that meant more competition for them. Thus, ftp users got their accounts and the money deposited, and PokerStars became virtually a monopoly, without any strong market competition . That's why not all bets are pro- Canadian , but for a business that does not leave anything to chance , you never know what might happen . Nevertheless , PokerStars is now the world's largest company in its market and continues to grow every day. Source: Canadian Bussines [/QUOTE]
