DETROIT, April 1, 2026 — The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) today announced FanDuel has been approved to offer multi-state internet poker between Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, effective April 1, 2026.
FanDuel’s new poker platform will utilize the PokerStars brand in Michigan, and MotorCity Casino will serve as the Michigan operator partner for the poker product. Following a thorough review, the MGCB determined that FanDuel meets all Michigan regulatory requirements to conduct multi-state internet poker.
“FanDuel is a well-established operator in the Michigan gaming market,” MGCB Executive Director Henry Williams said. “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. Currently, Delaware, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia are member states of that agreement. Prior to the state joining MSIGA, Michigan poker players could only play online against other players located within the state. More information, including the Multistate Poker Submission Form, is available on the MGCB website.
FanDuel’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.
