RE:RE:RE:RE:Indian Poker Audience SurgesYou're mistaken and most likely don't understand how important currency exchange is to Stars.
Those 4 countries make up about half of Stars total gross revenues. How is that possible you ask, well it's simple. All 4 countries are in the European Union and they all use the Euro which is far superior than most other currencies, especially those in South America where a large portion of the global Stars population comes from.
Mexico, Brazil and all other South American countries where Stars has a good presence in have very weak currencies and this affects Stars bottom line greatly, That is why whenever you see Stars reporting their ERs Rafi/Stars management will always mention the Euro plays the single biggest factor when calculating total revenues.
Stars could lose the entire South American market and it would have a less of an impact compared to them losing one of the four countries I mentioned.
This is why when those 4 countries begin to share liquidity it will only strengthen Stars brand.
Party Poker will not be able to compete with them in those markets even if they did have a license there.
