Justin Bonomo's love for online poker is leading the star to move permanently to Malta as the US decided to shut down several poker sites in the US last April.

The US media reported that the government's decision led to a dramatic cut in Bonomo, known as ZeeJustin, and his colleagues' earnings, many of whom have already moved away from the US.

The star, who made close to $3 million in career earnings, announced on his Facebook page that he is moving to Malta.

It is highly likely that other poker stars will be choosing to settle here because of the decision.
