This past week has seen a frenzy of activity over the license application submitted by PokerStars to New Jersey regulators.

This morning previously proven sources with direct knowledge of current affairs reconfirm PokerStars remains shut out of the starting line up for online gaming in the Garden State.

“No approval tomorrow,” say law firms with direct knowledge of late breaking developments.  Insiders closely associated with PokerStars say founders Isai and Mark Scheinberg are actively preparing for worse news on the near horizon.

More news coming shortly on the pressure brought to bear by competitors outraged by “unfair competition.” One lawyer peripherally involved says current “mess” is made by New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement making promises to PokerStars that we’re not in concert with New Jersey regulatory tradition of stringent suitability requirements.
