WSOP and its US partner 888 launched in Michigan last week but now, thanks to Michigan joining up its online player pool with Nevada, New Jersey, and Delaware the brand will be the first out of the gate offering online poker to players across four states.

As WSOP/888 is the only online poker room to operate in all four states, and already runs the only three-state online poker player pool in the US on its network across WSOP NJ, NV, and DE, it only makes sense to bring WSOP MI into the club now that legislation has opened those doors.

Michigan joining online poker player pools with the other three states has added an extra 10 million people to the four-state compact, almost doubling the size of the market.

The experts over at pokerfuse expect that BetMGM will launch in the US state of Nevada this Spring.

News swirled last month that BetMGM was reading for launch in Nevada with parent company Entain receiving a three-year interactive gaming license extension last summer — which means they could be gearing up to finally launch in the state.

The big question mark as to BetMGM launching in Nevada was the status of shared players pools between the states of New Jersey, Nevada, and Delaware.

And now, Michigan is set to join the interstate poker compact, which will double the size of the market. It can already be presumed that BetMGM will link up BetMGM MI to its network in NJ and the opportunity to add Nevada to that network would be too good to pass up. Now that the path is open for BetMGM to follow in WSOP’s footsteps and launch its own three-state network, there should be nothing left standing in the way of the launch of BetMGM NV.

The headlines are true!

Michigan is set to be the latest state to join the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA). Simply put, the MSIGA is a legal agreement that allows the states involved to share liquidity across state lines.

The agreement was originally inked in 2014 so Nevada and Delaware could pool players onto one network. In 2017, New Jersey joined to create a three-state network. And now, Michigan is set to be the fourth state to join, which means soon — really soon — players in the US states of Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware can all play online poker against each other.

With Michigan boasting a population of over 10 million, MI joining the online compact almost doubles the size of the player pool to over 22 million.

That means if you are an online poker player in Michigan, or in any one of the other states in the compact, you will soon be able to play online poker against a much bigger pool of players.

And, even if you don’t live in one of the four states involved, you should still care, as this is truly a historic moment in US online poker history — one that also opens up the gates for further expansion. There’s already chatter in the community about who might be next to jump onboard the MSIGA train.
