Poker News – As you may well know, the United Kingdom & Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT) heads to the home of PokerStars at the end of October for the inaugural UKIPT Isle of Man festival. PokerNews cannot wait to explore the PokerStars headquarters (pictured), something that no media outlet has ever done before.
With the poker community tingling with anticipation at heading to the home of PokerStars, PokerNews thought it would be fun to look at some PokerStars-related data and discovered that some of those figures are mind-blowing.
The Rational Group, the parent company of PokerStars, employs a staff of 1,641 across nine countries. Those staff members seem happy at both work and at home considering there have been 81 babies born to PokerStars staff in the last year alone; reports of them sporting the red spade on their heads are yet to be confirmed!
Everyone knows that PokerStars takes player security seriously and it shows in the number of staff whose job it is to maintain security and the integrity of the games. At last count, 329 total employees work in the security sector — that’s a whopping 20.05% of the entire staff!
