It will probably be one of the regulated states already, that being said I bet they are looking at least 6 months for that to happen.

Will be interesting to see where PokerStars move to next. Is it in the long-term plan for us all to play on the same tables again? That will be good. Will be watching closely always.

It won't be a state with tribal gaming. Pokerstars' success in NJ proves to the Tribes that allowing internet poker in their states will only benefit Pokerstars.

States with commercial gaming are a little different, because for some reason (mismanagement comes to mind) the commercial casinos are a bit harder up for revenue.

online poker itself generates pretty small numbers which doesn't make it a big draw for Tribal casinos, nor do they want to just cede the market to Pokerstars for a small commission.

That said, Pennsylvania would be my guess at the next state to allow online poker. We will have to see how the charges pan out against Baazov. If he is convicted, Pokerstars would likely have trouble getting licensing anywhere else and NJ could be in jeopardy unless he were to divest.

Nevada must open

Unlikely. Bad actors for one, no players for two. Pokerstars isn't making any attempt to enter any states other than the big markets.

I think its going to take them time to clean up their USA reputation. However, in a year they could be all over the Northeast.

I really don't know, but when it became legal in the Us again, it's gonna be a big boom over again, the value for who's really good will be INSANE ..
People say that poker will be dead in the next years, but I think that there's so many unexplored markets that when it became legal, it's gonna be huge.
I think that still have a lot of value and a lot of money to be made in poker, here in brazil the boom is happening, and in other places will happen too.

It will interesting to see if there is another state or what state poker stars will open in. Oh and the path they gotten themselves rapped up in yup good ol bad actors clause. If they can avoid that the market will have a lot to do with what state.

I can't see where poker will ever be dead. It is in the human nature to gamble.

Georgia, like Virginia, is in the Bible Belt, and most likely will never see on line poker. Sadly.

The ruling applies to all Iowa tribes in fact. It remains to be seen how it fleshes out. The tribe who got the ruling has a tech partner but I've never heard of them or seen what their product will look like (it won't be Pokerstars, yet).

But here's the rub. They can only offer play where it is legal to do so, and in Iowa it isn't, except on tribal lands. That's some pretty tight geolocating, so I don't expect to see it available in Iowa any time soon, though I may be underestimating the technology.

They can offer play in other countries, and perhaps even in NJ and NV if they can get licensed (those licenses would only be good within their respective states, with no mixed player pools, however).

From a practical standpoint, I don't see a poker product working from this right away, if at all. But it does open the doors for the rest of the nation's tribes, and just might be a complication in other states with tribal gaming (notably California).

Personally I think tribal issues have always been the big hurdle to spreading online poker across the states. This makes the hurdle higher

IMHO

It is the tribes in Oklahoma, not Iowa. The name of the Tribe that got this decision is the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma.

One of the owners of PokerStars got something like $4.1 billion from Amaya, Not too shabby!
