Partypoker<\/strong> is one of the oldest poker rooms for American online\nplayers starting way back in 2001<\/strong>,\nand since then started growing exponentially, just to elect to abandon the US\nduring its prime when it had almost conquered the market, due to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act\n\/UIGEA\/<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The shareholders\u2019 decision not to\ncontinue US operations in 2006 turned out to be a winning one, as it later\nallowed partypoker to legally return to the opening New Jersey<\/strong> market, and be one of the first to do so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since its return in 2013<\/strong>, Partypoker was acquired by GVC Holdings<\/strong> two years later and, after the latter entered into a joint venture with<\/a> MGM Resorts<\/strong> to create a leading sports betting and interactive gaming platform in the US, Roar Digital<\/strong>, restoring the leading position pre-UIGEA<\/strong> for the online poker platform is high on the agenda list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first step is the forthcoming\npartypoker launch on the latest GVC<\/strong>\ntechnology platform for New Jersey and will be followed by the addition of Pennsylvania<\/strong> where partypoker is\nexpected to go live within the next 3<\/strong>\nmonths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cParty was the biggest poker network in the US prior to UIGEA. We\u2019ve done some research and found there is some residual value in that brand to capitalize on. Our long-term plan is to be the poker market leader in the US.\u201d<\/p>Adam Greenblatt, CEO, Roar Digital <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nMGM\/GVC Joint Venture Plan For\nPartypoker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
