Online poker players in Pennsylvania will be able to compete with players in other jurisdictions in the United States from Monday.
The shared liquidity pooling is set to begin on Monday April 28 under the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA), which was signed yesterday by Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
The signing makes Pennsylvania the sixth US state to join the MSIGA, allowing the state’s estimated 150,000 online poker players to compete against players in New Jersey, Nevada, Delaware, West Virginia, and Michigan.
“This is a commonsense step to support hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians, grow our economy, and bring in more revenue to support our schools, our seniors, our small businesses, and more,” said Governor Shapiro.
“Three of our neighbors are already part of this agreement – and with this action today, we’re making sure Pennsylvania remains competitive in a rapidly growing online market.”
Online poker players in Pennsylvania will initially have access to shared liquidity pooling through BetMGM and PA Borgata Online from April 28, with other licensed operators in Pennsylvania expected to offer intrastate poker in the near future.
Pennsylvania’s regulated gambling market generated revenue of $1.58 billion in the first quarter of 2025, as gaming revenue in March climbed to a record monthly high of $574.5 million.
The state’s online poker revenue in the first quarter amounted to $7.60 million.
