Amaya Casinos

Amaya Company History

Amaya Gaming Group was founded in Canada and grew through online gaming technology, casino platforms and acquisitions. Its most famous move came in 2014, when Amaya completed the acquisition of the Rational Group, the parent company of PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker. That deal made Amaya one of the biggest public companies in online gaming and shifted much of the company's identity toward poker, casino and sportsbook brands serving real-money players in regulated markets. In 2017, Amaya changed its corporate name to The Stars Group, reflecting the global recognition of the PokerStars brand and the company's broader consumer-facing direction. In 2020, The Stars Group combined with Flutter Entertainment. Because of that history, Amaya is best treated today as a legacy software/provider name rather than a modern independent studio.

Amaya Notable Features

Amaya's casino footprint came from several connected areas: older online slots, poker technology, casino platform operations and acquired B2B assets. The company purchased Chartwell Technology and CryptoLogic, both of which had online casino games and platform services, before later selling those B2B online gaming businesses to NYX Gaming in 2015. Some older games may still be listed around the web under Amaya, CryptoLogic or related platform histories, so players may see the provider name connected with legacy slots even when the modern corporate structure has moved on.

Is Amaya Still Active as a Slot Provider?

Amaya is not usually treated as an active modern slot studio in the same way as newer casino content providers. The name is mainly useful for historical sorting, older casino software references and casinos that still tag legacy Amaya-related games.
