PokerStars<\/strong> has decided to withdraw from the Australian market after the Australian Senate went ahead and approved the 2016 Internet Gambling Amendment Bill<\/strong><\/a> last week. <\/p>\n The online poker giant sent an email to all its players based in Australia this week informing them of its decision to pull out of the Australian market by mid-September. An exact date is yet to be provided but the company has confirmed that it will be announced shortly.<\/p>\n The announcement does not come as a surprise since PokerStars has said earlier that if gaming regulations are changed in the country it would withdraw from the market. It follows other operators who have already exited the market including 888poker<\/a>.<\/p>\n
