ONCHAN, Isle of Man – March 21, 2017 – Today is officially one year since PokerStars, the world’s
largest online poker site, launched in New Jersey and celebrations are in full swing with a range of
innovative promotions on offer to suit all. The schedule for the month-long birthday celebrations for

players even more opportunities to win, and to win big, at PokerStarsNJ.com, an Amaya Inc. (Nasdaq: AYA;

player promotions up to now, the largest tournament series New Jersey had ever seen - the New Jersey
Championship of Online Poker (NJCOOP), PokerStars sponsored live and “onlive” events, all sorts of online
Festivals and Series, and mega winning moments such as when ‘VaderWolf’ hit the $100,000 Spin and Go
