No, poker stars and FTP will not be able to participate in this for 5 years because they operated "illegally" in the US from 2006 thru 2011 and that is an exception in the Nevada bill. Lets see what New Jersey's bill states next week.

That's good... I've gotta an old fling in Reno that's been begging me to move to Nevada. These Indian Casino's and Riverboats are all that's around here, in Louisiana. I'm bored with them.

Well, PokerStars might be able to do thru the NJ bill...but the rake might be prohitive and making the games not beatable...NJ bill will tax the companies 15% of gross revenue and guess who will end up paying for that.

The bill, which Governor Chris Christie recently vetoed in order to slip in a few provisions, is likely to pass. Amendments will include a 15 percent state tax of gross revenue on online gambling—up from 10 percent—and an increase in annual funding to fight compulsive gambling, from $150,000 to $250,000. Democratic leaders of New Jersey’s Senate and Assembly have said they will accept these terms.

At least one foreign online gambling company is already positioning itself to get in on the game. Isle of Man-based PokerStars, the world’s leading online poker site, agreed in December to buy the struggling Atlantic Club Casino Hotel in Atlantic City. Purchasing the brick-and-mortar casino, which posted a $13.6 million operating loss through the first three quarters of 2012, would give the PokerStars brand more visibility as it tries to gain a foothold in the nascent U.S. online gambling market.
