Michigan regulator approves FanDuel for multi-state online poker
The company has been approved to offer multi-state online poker in Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
US.- The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has announced that FanDuel has been approved to offer multi-state online poker in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, from today (April 1). The operator’s new poker platform will use Flutter’s PokerStars brand in Michigan, while MotorCity Casino will serve as its operator partner.
The regulator stated: “Following a thorough review, the MGCB determined that FanDuel meets all Michigan regulatory requirements to conduct multi-state internet poker.” It added that the operator’s approval reinforces the MGCB’s commitment to enabling legal, regulated gaming opportunities while upholding responsible gaming practices and ensuring the integrity of the industry.
MGCB executive director Henry Williams said: “FanDuel is a well-established operator in the Michigan gaming market. Michigan players can have confidence in the integrity of the games they play, backed by the same rigorous oversight the MGCB applies across all licensed gaming activity.”
Michigan joined the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA) in 2022. Delaware, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia are the other states in the agreement. Before joining MSIGA, Michigan poker players could only play online against other players located within the state.
