Flutter Entertainment, the parent company of PokerStars, has signed industry veteran Steve Preiss as its new Vice President of PokerStars North America. Preiss, most recently of GGPoker, will have oversight of PokerStars' growing efforts in the US states and Canadian provinces where the famed brand is regulated and available to online players.
Preiss will work out of Flutter's PokerStars North America office while also frequently visiting existing and new markets for PokerStars' North American offerings, which will include both online and live components.
"I feel fantastic being at Flutter," Preiss told PokerOrg. "It's a world-class organinzation, very well-run. Flutter is a first-class brand."
Being able to join a brand as historic as PokerStars is important as well to Preiss, who has been a part of the poker industry for almost two decades. "PokerStars has meant so much to the growth of the game," he added. "It's an honor to now be a steward of the brand." Preiss was also thankful for his time at GGPoker, which he described as "two fantastic years."
