Amaya has announced that it will merge its PokerStars and Full Tilt platforms.
The move will result in the migration of the Full Tilt offering onto PokerStars, which Amaya said will enable its development and technology team to focus on one platform rather than two.
Full Tilt members will retain their account information, such as avatars and rewards. Once the two have merged, players will have a single account that can be used to play on the new platform using either PokerStars or Full Tilt software.
Rafi Ashkenazi, chief executive of the Amaya-owned Rational Group, said: “Players will benefit from a larger pool of players offering greater game choice and bigger prize pools.
“It will also make us more nimble as we can focus our technological innovation on one platform, rather than two, so we will be able to innovate more quickly and enter newly-regulating and existing markets swiftly.”
