FanDuel launches PokerStars platform across three US states with shared player network

FanDuel, the premier online gaming company in North America, has announced the launch of PokerStars exclusively on FanDuel, a new "best-in-class" poker experience available in Michigan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The new platform brings together FanDuel's market presence and the PokerStars "legacy" to deliver an "elevated" player experience through a new dedicated poker app and desktop site.

PokerStars exclusively on FanDuel merges player liquidity across markets, forming one of the "largest" regulated online poker networks in North America. Customers will have access to more games, larger prize pools, and a selection of tournaments and cash games.

"The launch of PokerStars exclusively on FanDuel brings together two of the most iconic names in gaming and represents a major step forward for online poker in North America," said Aaron Dugan, General Manager of PokerStars at FanDuel.

"By combining PokerStars' industry-leading poker experience with FanDuel's scale and reach, we're able to deliver bigger games, larger prize pools and a more dynamic experience. We look forward to welcoming players to the tables."

Players across Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Michigan will be able to participate in the previously announced two $500,000 guaranteed Sunday Million tournaments. A range of promotions and events, including a $150,000 guaranteed 'No Sweat' series alongside a full schedule of tournaments and cash games for players of all levels will also be introduced.

In addition to the U.S. launch, PokerStars exclusively on FanDuel will be available in Ontario, Canada later this year.
