*Pennsylvania Online Poker Launch In Pa
Nov 08, 2019 Following a two-day soft launch period which began on November 4, the PokerStars online poker platform is officially open for business in Pennsylvania. Players physically located within state lines can now log on to PokerStarsMtAiryCasino.com to compete in real money cash games, multi-table tournaments, and one-table “sit and go” tournaments. November 4, 2019Online Poker. PokerStars Officially (Soft) Launches Online Poker in Pennsylvania. A year after Pennsylvania legalized online poker, PokerStars became the. Not bad considering that same platform that was launched in November 2019 remains the sole online poker operator in the state. A spokesperson for the PGCB confirmed that online poker in Pennsylvania has “operated smoothly” during this inaugural year, particularly as consumers’ interest in gaming as a whole surged considerably throughout 2020. “ PGCB staff have been working closely with Roar to launch the Party Poker and BetMGM apps, which will include interactive slots, table games and poker,” said Doug Harbach, Director of Communications for the PGCB, in an exclusive statement to pokerfuse. “This includes testing of ROAR’s interactive gaming platform and games.Table Of Contents
It’s been more than two years since legislation cleared the way for regulated online poker to return to Pennsylvania, but nary a hand has been dealt at the virtual felt. Poker players anxiously awaiting the chance to get dealt digital cards will finally have their appetites sated soon, though, according to reports.
PlayPennsylvania reported Wednesday afternoon that PokerStars Pennsylvaniawill be first to market with a Nov. 4 launch.
’We have staff prepared to initiate and oversee a test launch this Monday of another online casino gaming site, this one licensed under Mount Airy Casino and their suite of casino-type games,’ said a state gaming rep. ’At this juncture, it would include the testing of a poker game.’
Mount Airy is PokerStars’ land-based casino partner, so the name drop is a dead giveaway that PokerStars is the online poker room launching.
A PokerStars spokesperson confirmed the news:
“We are very excited to be bringing our most popular brands to Pennsylvania in the next week, subject to regulatory approval. Stay tuned for more details!”Several Months Coming
While online gaming has been approved since October 2017, the first product launch didn’t take place until July of this year.
Online poker was originally expected to follow the same timeline, but a lengthy regulatory process, slow development, or other reasons kept it on ice while casino products launched as expected.
Questions have lingered about the market’s viability for poker considering the lukewarm climate in New Jersey and the fact that Pennsylvania hasn’t committed to joining the Multi-State Internet Gaming Association. However, the state gaming rep quoted by PlayPennsylvania shared no such fears.
“There is no doubt there is a market out there for Pennsylvania poker players,” he said. “There is an excitement about it getting unveiled but, at this point, we are still waiting for the operators to be in a position to launch the poker games.”Rumored Product Details
Evidently, the position will be reached on Nov. 4, when PokerStars will unveil its second U.S. product. What will that product entail?
According to an Oct. 1 report from PokerFuse, customers can expect to experience a product that’s a little watered down compared to the international dot-com client.
Cash games on PokerStars PA will be spread in no-limit hold’em and Omaha, with some mixed games also available on the software. Live cash games in the state are hugely popular, with rooms like Parx supporting 40-plus tables of action, so players looking to play online will find familiar products available.
“There is no doubt there is a market out there for Pennsylvania poker players.”
What they won’t find is any Zoom or heads-up action. While the latter has been largely phased out of most online poker clients in 2019, the former has gained in popularity over the past several years. Whether due to a regulatory roadblock or PokerStars being unsure the market can support the product, the fast-fold Zoom game isn’t expected to be offered initially.Pennsylvania Online Poker Launch Dates
Tournament players will get a more comprehensive list of options, closely reflecting the ones available on most online poker clients nowadays. For instance, they’ll have progressive knockouts, hyper-turbos, a full slate of sit-n-go options with buy-ins up to $500, and plenty of five-figure tournament guarantees. Sunday majors with buy-ins of $250 and $100 appear to be on the docket.
However, spin & gos may not be available from jump street, if PokerFuse’s early October reporting remains current. They reported that spin & gos, once thought to be available up to $25 buy-in, have likely not been cleared by the Gaming Control Board as there was no corresponding tab in the early leaked screenshots.
The Stars Group owns a majority shareholding in iBus Media.

* Updating an earlier version of this story.
After 888poker was recently approved by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB), a WSOP.com launch in the Keystone State seemed close. That now appears to be delayed until 2021 USPoker has learned.
Despite the recent launch of several online pages related to WSOP.com Pennsylvania, a launch appears to be on hold.
WSOP.com partners with 888poker for its software in the US. The recent PA online additions included co-branding with WSOP’s partner casino in the state – Harrah’s Philadelphia.
Many players in the state have been eagerly awaiting another poker option and that now appears delayed.
PokerStars entered the state in November 2019, but players should have an alternative.
While early reports had launch set soon, new information now points to a 2021 launch. USPoker is tracking more news surrounding this issue.What to expect from WSOP.com PA when there is a launch
Unlike players in New Jersey and Nevada, players in the Keystone State will welcome in a “ringed-in” WSOP poker market. That means players will only battle against others within the state when the platform finally arrives,
The state hasn’t approved interstate compacts yet because of the issues surrounding the Wire Act.
The Department of Justice has argued the act applies to other forms of online gaming outside sports. The DOJ has lost the first round in court, but the issue remains in appeals court.
PokerStars has been operating in the same environment and found some success. The addition of WSOP.com adds some momentum to the US online poker. While revenue has declined in recent months, 2020 numbers are way up year over year.
Andrew Langston is a 27-year-old recreational player living in York, PA. He is active in PA poker Facebook groups and is a regular online player.
He believes many players in his home state will be excited for a second online poker option. Langston hopes his home state can be a real leader in regulated US online poker.
“I honestly think it will be great,” Langston says. “While PokerStarsPA has overall been a great addition to poker In the state, it does have its flaws. I think a little competition in the Pennsylvania market will only be good for the players.
“I haven’t done any research yet, but I would hope we will be able to compete with New Jersey and Nevada and be eligible for WSOP events in the future.”
Some competition in the state should make all sites better, Langston believes.
“I think players were excited when PokerStars came to the state but have had some growing pains with them,” he says. “I think a fresh start with WSOP will help give us options and force PokerStars to listen to the players or lose them to a rival site.”Some details on WSOP.com
WSOP.com is the online arm of the World Series of Poker and operated by Caesars Interactive Entertainment. While no launch date has been announced yet, Caesars received approval from the PGCB earlier this year.
The company already operates online casino gaming in PA. Now with 888 also receiving approval, an evenutual poker launch seems inevitable.
In its new online branding, WSOP.com detailed the legalese surrounding the new PA site. The operator has also launched some bonus and information pages, but that appears to have been removed.
WSOP.com remains the US market leader because of its presence in three states, known as the All American Poker Network.
In New Jersey, 888 also operates its own online poker platform. That site as well 888’s Delaware online poker platform, shares player pools with Nevada and New Jersey.
It remains unknown if 888 will also run its own poker skin in PA. WSOP officials would offer no information on when to expect a launch. Promo code 888 poker 2019 online.
WSOP executive director Ty Stewart had no comment but noted that, “it is the goal to be able to have shared liquidity for all states including PA and Michigan.”
WSOP.com adds the cachet of the annual poker series that debuted in Las Vegas in 1970. Players in NJ and Nevada have the opportunity to win WSOP Circuit championship rings as well as online gold bracelets as at the live series.
No plans have been announced in this regard, but PA players should expect some interesting tournament options. WSOP/888 offer players a more narrow number of game variations – Texas Hold’em and Omaha.
Many rounders in the state will simply be pleased to have another option.Expanding the market, gaining some online poker momentum
PA would make a nice addition to the All American network – doubling the number of players available. The four states with legalized online online poker have populations of:
*Pennsylvania –12.8 million
*New Jersey – 8.9 million
*Nevada – 3.1 million
*Delaware – 974,000
A future PA addition to the network would bring the All American Poker Network to cover almost 26 million people. Michigan and West Virginia have also legalized online poker but are still in the licensing and regulation stages.
A positive ruling in the Wire Act case could offer even more opportunities for the slowly growing US online market. Orbit case. The Michigan Senateapproved a bill legalizing interstate compacts on Sept. 30. The House was expected to do the same.
An interstate compact would also be ideal for West Virginia, a rural state that would struggle as its own market.
A federal appeals court heard arguments in the Wire Act case in June. A ruling is expected soon and could have major ramifications on iGaming beyond poker.
If things continue to go in the gaming industry’s direction, this could offer a shot at major growth in online poker. Adding Pennsylvania to interstate compacts could offer even bigger player and prize pools.
PokerStars also offers online poker in PA and New Jersey. A positive ruling could allow the company to eventually combine those two player pools as well.
USPoker will monitor the Pennsylvania situation as more information becomes available.
