Recently it was announced that Michigan would be having online gambling for the Michigan lottery in 2014. This makes me wonder how this will change laws for online poker. Currently Michigan residents cannot play on WPT due to the current restrictions. Anyone here from Michigan and have any information?

I do not have any information on this, but how can they say that's any worse then poker? I hope something gets done for you as this doesn't make sense to me

Several years ago my husband sent a message to the then governor about making poker online legal. The response was "It is my job to protect Michigan residents from their selves". Thank heavens we now have a governor that has more faith people.

That makes me sick.

I hate how "Lottery" can be legal... 100% LUCK, and a skilled game with some luck isn't "legal".

It is going to be a few more years before this country has a legalized federal poker grid.

I am guessing in 2-3 years, its going to be like 10-15 states with legal poker, in 3-6 years more than half will be included.
