PokerStars Targets New Generation via Solidified Twitch Partnership

There is a fine line between gaming and gambling and many companies cross it or significantly blur it with their new offerings and endeavors. Nowadays the esports industry amounts to some US$1.9 billion on a global scale and its popularity is rapidly growing. Online gaming and online poker activities are also among the preferred pastime activities for many individuals across the US and worldwide.
