Michigan and New Jersey online poker players will play against each other on the same platform starting Monday, December 19, 2022!

PokerStars Preparing to Share Players Between New Jersey and Michigan​

Maybe just maybe this is the start of adding in more states too? There are around 5 that allow poker aren't there? Plus maybe Ontario, or this could be complicated due to being cross country borders I suppose?!

Can I use my one time please and let my state legalize and join in the fun. Congrats to NJ and Michigan players.

I suppose this is great news for those who live in these locations and are poker lovers, so enjoy and have fun.

Wish you the best. That Poker is illegal in most US States is so ridiculous.
But then again for most Europeans the thought of gambling and betting being illegal is absurd.
A country which claims to be "The Land of the Free" should make it legal as well.

We are really missing USA players online. Games were more fun with them.

 

[Kinalha]

Maybe a little start from world...

Yes i hope that one day all players will be back in one pokerstars player pool.

Bigger fields, bigger prizes and more more fun.

Cool that stars is evolving on this issue along with the policy.

Legalize online poker in USA

 

[ADRI7HO]

This is again good news, especially for CC members out there.
Hopefully, this trend will continue and poker will be available everywhere.

Wish we could just get it legalized at the federal level.

A very long start. A few other states could join in and I hope it leads to many states getting involved but we are still looking at many years for that to happen. It is highly unlikely to ever be all states and I would bet my last dollar it would never include Ontario.

Maryland, so close, yet so far...

 

[MAGICUZ]

Since you allow weapons and same-sex marriages, I think the legalization of online poker is not far off

 

[shellie111]

good for the american market

 

[budweiser74777]

it would be nice, of course - given the crisis in which the poker room is currently located!!!

 

[Cooking]

I really hope that one day US players will be allowed to play in all online poker rooms again.

That would be nice, but I doubt that will ever happen.

 

[Mati532]

nice news, US players were really missed

 

[Chris Wade]

I wonder why they did not include Nevada ? Have an address there.

this should have happened in California quite some time ago . i fear the native American Indian tribes want to keep a good share of the poker operations here to themselves .

I get that..what else do the natives have? Genocide and theft and in return they get a gambling license 🤣 . Better not open that discussion 😉
