West Virginia could launch its first offerings later this year. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Delaware are the only other states with live legal online poker sites.

Officials are still finalizing agreements needed to join the compact, but Michiganders should be able to play against players in other legal states in the coming months. Under a 2020 law, Michigan will be able to join the interstate player sharing compact with other legal online poker states. The brand also organizes locally focused “home games” through its app that caters to play between neighbors and friends. The company has hosted 1.85 billion tournaments and dealt more than 200 billion hands across the world. The site features daily games, major Sunday tournaments and the annual Championship of Online Poker series each September.

PokerStars controls more than two-thirds of the global online poker market, bringing the industry leader to Michigan after launching in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. All three offerings are available in the same app. Michiganders can also now access the FOX Bet online sportsbook as well as the Stars Casino, which features real-money digital casino games such as blackjack. PokerStars’ launch marks the fifth state with live peer-to-peer online poker. PokerStars became the first legal real-money online poker operator in Michigan on Friday, bringing the world’s largest online poker site to one of the most anticipated markets in America.
