Users who enjoy online poker play in Michigan are in for a change. PokerStars has merged to become part of FanDuel’s online hub for casino gaming.
Customers of PokerStars in Michigan are going to be required to create a FanDuel Casino login to play poker online. There’s no official word on the date of the merger, but the benefits outweigh any hassle of a new registration.
The details of the partnership
In Michigan, FanDuel and PokerStars players will now be combined into one online poker-playing ecosystem which will result in larger tournament prize pools.
FanDuel promises faster table fills, increased cash game traffic for poker, and an elevation in the number of games available to consumers in Michigan.
Flutter Entertainment is the parent company of both FanDuel and PokerStars. This merger has long been rumored as Flutter narrows its branding in the Michigan online casino space in the United States. The same action is taking place in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Moving to FanDuel
As a reward for moving over to FanDuel, PokerStars customers are being offered 500 bonus spins and up to $1,000 back in the form of a welcome bonus. All that’s needed is to create your FanDuel Casino account. Even if you already have a FanDuel account, the poker welcome offer will still be available.
Members of the PokerStars Rewards program will receive their balance in rewards in the form of a cash payment on March 13, as well as a pro-rated payment for any in-progress play on that platform.
This merger consolidates the casino and poker platforms as Michigan is one of the few markets with both regulated verticals. The state is part of the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA) that pools players and prizes for many tournaments. Delaware, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia are also part of the compact.
Michigan consumers seeking information about this important change to online casino gaming can visit the The PokerStars x FanDuel InfoHub. Information will be shared communications regarding the transition.
