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... :(

:puke:Stars...

PokerStars is partnering with an Indian tribe to offer poker, sports betting, and also other casino games in the Wolverine State. And we also have some more good news for the US poker industry. Partypoker appears set to end the online poker monopoly in Nevada. Not a bad start to the new decade.

PokerStars Partners with Indian Tribe to Enter Michigan Market, Partypoker Coming to Nevada?

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. :)

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

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.

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

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. :)

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. :)
