Poker site takeover saves 200 jobs

The future of 200 jobs at Full Tilt Poker in Dublin has been secured following a takeover of the online gaming site by rival PokerStars.

The head of corporate communications for PokerStars, Eric Hollreiser, confirmed they would continue to operate Full Tilt Poker from the current site in Cherrywood.

“When we do take over Full Tilt we will continue to operate it out of Dublin. In the near to medium term we expect there to be growth in the Dublin office,” he said
