Who is behind it
Boyd Gaming is a regional casino operator based in Las Vegas. Its shares trade publicly, so in our data no single private owner sits at the top of the chain. Boyd runs its online casino business through Pala Interactive, which holds the licences and operates the Stardust sites. In 2025 Boyd sold its 5% stake in FanDuel to Flutter, so Boyd's own online activity now runs under the Stardust brand and the sites it took over.
Licence and what it means for you
In Pennsylvania, Pala Interactive, LLC holds an interactive gaming operator licence from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. It uses the Valley Forge casino certificate, and the Board's list shows it as active. The Pennsylvania site went live on 2 May 2023. Players there get state rules: age and location checks, responsible-gaming tools and a regulator that handles complaints.
Our data also lists New Jersey and Alberta as markets, and a separate Ontario site runs under a Canadian Pala company. Each market has its own regulator and rules. Stardust has no Finnish licence. In Finland, Veikkaus keeps the exclusive right to online casino games until the new Gambling Act takes effect.

2 sister casinos
Same owner often means the same terms, the same support team and the same payout rules. A self-exclusion at one brand may not cover its sister sites.
