One of the leading figures at the Manx Education Foundation has said Pokerstars' support of the mobile and family libraries has provided priceless support and ensured people are staying in jobs.
The Douglas firm's charity donation to MEF was met by criticism by some who disagreed with a gambling firm being involved in youth projects.
However, many of these claims were proven to be misinformed.
The foundation's executive director David Butterworth told 3FM about the impact the company's support has brought and what this means moving forward.
