This is amazing! After moving to Colorado two years ago I got back into the online poker community ( not much in the way of cards in Northwestern Colorado ) I LOVE hearing about new states that are getting the opportunities. We legalized weed pretty early on so im assuming our legistlative decision makers are just too high at the moment to realize that poker will be good!

That's good news and I'm glad to hear it. Does anyone know if any other poker sites will open in Michigan.

This is great news for poker in the USA. Hopefully this momentum keeps going to the other States so we can at least get the US as one player pool. Here's looking at you California!

It's great news to us. I think USA is the biggest poker players pool. Hopeful to connecting all states in features. Maybe we will seeing rake back with this news.
Good luck to all

This is good to hear I have family in that state and visit alot thx for the info!

I'm in Michigan for work a lot. Hope to play while there!

This is great news for local players!


Since, it has other gaming options and so improves the fastest growing sport in the world.

only PokerStars creates good conditions for players

i hope that Washington make it legal in all states

Great news for Michigan and for the players of PokerStars too! I'm very glad to see, that more and more locations in the world get access to play our favorite game at bigger variety of poker rooms. I wish, one day all countries of the world could play in the same rooms together without any restrictions, but it's still a long way if at all it ever gonna happen.

good luck for all players in Michigan does they play in one american pool

When will it come to sunny wales

SO Awesome! I wish we could play here in California on PS. We do have several American Indian Casinos out here but getting back on Poker stars has been long awaited. Congrats Michigan!

Yea that is great news. I can't wait til North Carolins is added to that list!

Good news. Congratulations

Will I be able to log in with my old username like before black friday?

You can still do that on the .com client. I've had my log in for years, and still use it to play in some CardsChat Home Games.

But to play for real money in Michigan, it's likely that they will have software that is dedicated for MI players only (so a new account would probably be required, along with new software download).

I play in PA and currently it's just PA players.

Don't think so. I had to register a whole new acct when signing up. Depositing easy as hell though. Can link directly to bank acct, PayPal, prepaid cards and also vanilla direct. If they're using same methods as PA.

Spot on.

If it's like it is PA you will be able to. I've seen cities listed from neighboring states. There's even a mid-stakes reg that plays w/Las Vegas listed as their city.

So long as you're inside state lines you can play.

The bill has been passed but PokerStars hasn't been given the license, have they? I think until Covid -19 is under control or has been combatted, we won't likely see anything till then. But, I know Michganers are hoping sooner rather than later!

I am very jealous!

Waow! Congrats guys!

Is poker legal online in Michigan now? Since, the pandemic and casinos closing. I heard poker is legal online in mich. now???

That is exciting. I would love to bet online in Michigan. This must be fun if you live there.

Apparently, but a launch date has still not been announced, according to the article. (unless someone knows differently)

I was reading this article, which may help answer some questions. For those who are podcast consumers, are you aware of any recent developments as it relates to specific launch dates?

Im the one that remember US players in world pool so its definately step in the right direction. On other hand whole thing is taking so much time. Its really damn shame that this gargantuan market is still exluded.

My thoughts go out to Michigan for when this difficult time arrives.

I'm sure they're good people there, no idea what they did to deserve this fate...

Stars...

Congratulations to PokerStars and our room users, who will be able to get opponents from this state!

Aww so jealous, I hope they come to my state soon lol

Really? This came out in January of this year and I didn't know about it until scrolling through cardschat forums just now? I am eagerly awaiting for December of 2020 for when it becomes official (assuming it isn't delayed - which is very possible I'm sure). Not only is this good for Michigan, but it is good for U.S.A. poker as a whole. This would make them the 5th state to legalize it, so it may begin a wave of other states to do the same.

No idea. Right now I've been playing on ACR (America's Cardroom) for the freerolls, but I'd be happy to expand to other sites if they become legal too.

I live in Michigan and I'm just now reading this news for the first time! How did I not know this? (Probably because covid-19 has been in the news since February/March of 2020 a lot and later the California wildfires, but still: how did I not hear this poker news until now?) Maybe it is better I found out later. This way I don't have to wait as long

So within state you can play poker online?

Hello, I would like to know if the US players have a separate pool, or are they part of the general network? Thanks in advance!

Actually, until there is an arrangement with other states who have legalized online poker, anyone in the state of Michigan will only play against/with other Michiganders. Pennsylvania plays with people in Pennsylvania, New Jersey with New Jersey, etc. Unless there is an arrangement made between states and I believe the poker sites need to approve.

Anyone can correct me if I am wrong.

good luck and i hope they get their wish soon so they can play with the rest of us lucky people

Congrats on this great news to my mates. Although I live a few kilometers away (specifically a continent away) but I sympathize with what a joy it is.

Congratulations! Well done! Now the children have something to do and spend their leisure time!
