As for legalization, sports betting should not affect poker itself as a whole. Since this was most likely regarded as a small violation of the law, otherwise the fine would have reached hundreds of thousands of dollars at least.
This could be a deliberate mistake or example of business negligence. PokerStars is a huge corporation and it's not hard to believe that they simply overlooked the specific regulations surrounding college sports betting.
that fine is nothing to them, but it will affect the gambling in sports betting on NJ. the colleges will be watch even more then now, to make sure there is no more betting in the future. when gaming companies have money they don't care about small fines.
I think, that they gave would give 100k and will say: can be without ceding the. And in an hour will break anew. For them, this money is a couple of times to go to a restaurant.
