US Poker Market Overview

There are several US states that have legislation in place allowing online poker. Given the growing popularity of sports betting, and how quickly sportsbooks have moved operations into new states, it makes sense that poker will see similar growth over the next few years. Which states will legalize online poker next? Bookmark this page to track legislation and find out.

A handful of states already offering legal online poker, such as Michigan and New Jersey have multi-state agreements in place that allows players to compete in tournaments against players in other states. For poker players in these states that means more games, bigger tournaments, and bigger prize pools.

With this in mind, it is important for new players to sign-up on a poker app that is prepared to offer multi-state poker as it comes available in new markets. This is why we prefer a poker app like BetMGM poker. Given the massive footprint the BetMGM sportsbook already has here in the US, it stands to reason they will be positioned to enter new poker markets at a similar pace. We already saw this play out with BetMGM entering the Michigan market faster than any other brand when legislation was finally passed to legalize online poker.

If you live in a state that has not yet passed poker legislation, we recommend tracking BetMGM's poker app to get notified when they enter your market.
