Pennsylvania joins multi-state online poker agreement
In April, Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro signed an agreement for the state to become the sixth member of the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA) for poker. Pennsylvania joins New Jersey, Nevada, Delaware, West Virginia, and Michigan to become the largest state in a shared market that now covers a population of over 38 million.
The move is expected to expand the pool of interstate online poker players by more than 50 per cent as there are an estimated 150,000 online poker players in Pennsylvania. The expansion will also afford larger prize pools without requiring an increase in buy-in amounts.
