In 2012, a three-way settlement was reached between Full Tilt Poker, PokerStars and the Department of Justice. Full Tilt Poker agreed to forfeit their assets to the Department of Justice and, on the same day, PokerStars agreed to acquire those assets from the Department of Justice. As part of the agreement, PokerStars paid $547 million to the Department of Justice in addition to $184 million to poker players outside the United States who were owed money by Full Tilt Poker. Additionally, $150 million from the settlement money was intended to be used to refund U.S.-based customers.
