More than two years after Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf signed legislation that allowed online poker in the Keystone State, PokerStars became the first legal and regulated online poker site in its jurisdiction with a soft launch in November 2019.
For the 18 months since, PokerStars was the only provider in the state. But it is finally getting some competition as more operators prepare to enter the market.
Tuesday, April 27, PGCB Director of Communications Doug Harbach confirmed to
PlayPennsylvania on Monday.
Both poker sites will be accessible through their respective iGaming products. BetMGM poker will launch under the BetMGM online casino, which falls under
Hollywood Casino Grantville‘s license. Borgata poker is accessible via the Borgata casino app under the
Rivers Philadelphia iGaming license. BetMGM online casino launched Dec. 4, 2020 and Borgata followed Feb. 24, 2021.
Harbach also confirmed that the two PA poker sites will be interlinked when it comes to
player pools.
“Players can enter via either provider and be combined into one when it comes to playing cash or tournament games.”
