PokerStars hints at job losses in reorganisation

Company confirms roles will be affected by transformation programme

Onchan based PokerStars has confirmed a number of roles within the business will be affected by its ongoing transformation programme, though a statement from the company hasn't indicated the scale of any job losses.

A PokerStars spokesperson told Manx Radio that while the company has sought to minimise the impact on colleagues, including through opportunities for redeployment, the proposals will unfortunately result in a number of roles being affected.

The company says it's communicating with those impacted as part of the process and will provide them with the support they need throughout.

Organisational changes at the company include integrating its online poker offering with Flutter's leading brands.

The PokerStars spokesperson says the move reflects a broader shift to a more locally focused operating model, as the business responds to an increasingly complex regulatory and competitive landscape across many of the markets in which it operates.
