Sheldon Adelson’s Las Vegas Sands looks to sell its remaining US properties for $6 billion. That could be good news for US online gambling.

After some stops and starts, Pennsylvania online poker players received good news on Wednesday. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) approved an interactive gaming license for BetMGM/Roar Digital.
The two companies partner in the US to offer the partypoker US Network in the US. Pennsylvania would make the platform’s second state offering online poker.
However, a potential launch date hasn’t been announced and Roar officials had no comment.
A new poker site in PA would give players at least another option. Under PGCB regulations, the MGM/Roar is recognized as a Qualified Gaming Entity (QGE). That means it operates as a stand-alone entity and doesn’t need a land-based partner.
The PGCB also approved the company for sports betting (although it would need a land-based partner) and other online gaming. Party’s possible entry into the market comes after some hiccups along the way.
The company was expected to be approved in August. PGCB chief enforcement counsel Cyrus Pitre spoke on the subject at the group’s July 8 meeting.
However, that timeline was delayed and apparently shifted to October. Players will now be awaiting to see when the platform might launch.
In Pennsylvania, players would find another “ringed-in” online poker option. That means users can only play others within the state. PokerStars already operates in this manner.
WSOP.com operates the only shared liquidity pact among Nevada, New Jersey, and with 888poker in Delaware. The future of interstate compacts remains unknown until the legal challenges regarding the Wire Act play out.
Partypoker remains one of the best known online poker sites in the world. The company offers a nice software experience and has made major improvements to its mobile app in recent months.
In New Jersey, the platform also includes the BetMGM and BorgataPoker.com skins. It’s unknown if there will be additional skins in PA.
In recent months, party has ramped up some of its offerings in New Jersey. The company partners with the World Poker Tour for live and online events internationally.
That has also carried over to two recent events in New Jersey. The WPT Online Borgata Series in September featured 11 events and an overall guarantee of $275,000. The series proved a hit and ultimately paid out $912,000.
Pennsylvania offers a nice opportunity for even more events like this if the platform launches. With a population of almost 13 million, the state is the largest with legalized online poker. That’s about 4 million more than in the Garden State.
PokerStars launched in the Keystone State in November 2019 and has had a poker monopoly for almost a full year. The company has seen nice revenue in the state to coincide with other operators in New Jersey, Nevada, and Delaware.
While revenue numbers have declined in recent months, those are still at historically high levels. In September, PokerStars achieved online poker revenue of $2.4 million after an August total of $2.7 million.
The site has brought major series like the PA Championship of Online Poker (PACOOP) and major events like Pennsyl-MANIA to the state.
The partypoker approval could bring a second player in the market. The company has been bullish in recent years on expansion and that includes the US.
Beyond online poker, many players have been happy to see live poker return in the Keystone State. Mount Airy was the first to return on Oct. 16. Others that have returned recently include:
PA casinos began reopening in June under added safety protocols. However, poker rooms haven’t been a part of that until now. As gamblers head back to casinos, PGCB officials expect the poker re-openings to spur table game revenues up further.
In September, table games accounted for $59.2 million in casino revenue. That’s down from August’s $65.1 million and $70.6 million in September 2019.
“The reopening of poker rooms will add to the positive performance of table games,” PGCB executive director Kevin O’Toole noted in Wednesday’s meeting about the recent reopening of live poker rooms.
Many Pennsylvania players are also hoping a new online poker room heads their way soon as well. USPoker will continue to update this story as more details emerge.

Online poker operators have reached out to US players to remedy some issues surrounding a geolocation last week. Players around the country experienced a service interruption last Thursday night that left many unable to play.
While the issues were brief, many tournament players experienced being locked out as blind levels escalated.
While events at WSOP.com and PokerStars continued, partypoker US Network was able to pause tournaments that were underway. Players in tournaments at partypoker (as well as the BetMGM and BorgataPoker.com skins) that had been going for over an hour received auto settlements.
After confirming the geolocation issues that impacted NJ sites and tournaments being paused over an hour, all tournaments are in the process of being auto settled per our tournament cancellation policy.
— partypoker US Network (@partypokerUS) October 23, 2020
Tournaments in progress under an hour on partypoker continued after the delay. Some players at the other two sites reported being blinded off during the one-hour outage. This could have affected a possible higher finish, many noted.
Brandon Patterson of Altoona, Penn., was one of those. After playing deep in two tournaments on PokerStars, the poker client suddenly locked him out of play. When able to play again, Patterson min-cashed but may have won more if not for the service interruption.
“I was right in the middle of the field right before the money and got blinded out,” he said.
On Monday, WSOP.com announced that the issue affected more than 1,000 players. The site is in the process of refunding players.
Attn @WSOPcom users : All 1,072 entries affected by the outage on Thursday, October 22 have been refunded.

“It is unfortunate there was a statewide issue with one of iGaming’s key vendors, which interrupted service for most New Jersey online poker operators for 45 minutes on Thursday night,” World Series of Poker executive director Ty Stewart said. “We view it as an isolated incident and will look to process the appropriate compensation to impacted players in short order.”
PokerStars offered an explanation to players in New Jersey and Pennsylvania on Friday. The site encouraged those affected to reach out to customer service if there hadn’t been a resolution in their situation.
Yesterday we experienced issues with our geolocation services. We apologize for any inconvenience. This is now resolved, and you should be able to access your account normally. If you were affected in any tournaments, please allow up to 24 hrs for your account to be refunded.
— PokerStarsUSA (@PokerStarsUSA) October 23, 2020
“PokerStars in PA and NJ experienced some technical issues for around an hour last night that resulted in some players having difficulty accessing their accounts,” PokerStars senior public relations manager Moya Wilson said. “We are, of course, currently looking into fairly compensating those players who were affected and reviewing ways to better mitigate this sort of issue in future.”
The issues arose last week about 9 p.m. (ET) last Thursday after a geolocation error. Legal iGaming sites make use of a technology company called GeoComply to make sure players are in a legal jurisdiction.
The system locks anyone recognized as outside a legal state. Players reported seeing their avatar still at the poker table, but weren’t able to complete any actions.
GeoComply reported that the interruptions were part of “an issue that temporarily affected the communication systems within our datacenter.”
“Last night we encountered an unexpected network communications error, which our team responded to and remedied immediately,” GeoComply Vice President of Government Relations Elizabeth Cronan told USPoker. “We have alerted all affected clients and they are aware of the issue and the steps that were taken to resolve it as quickly as possible.”
The interruption also affected sports betting and other online casino gaming. Unlike many gamblers, the lockouts particularly affected poker tournament players with money still in an event’s prize pool.
Similar errors happened occasionally when regulated online gaming first launched in the US. However, these types of issues now remain rare. Players were glad to see the issue lasted only a short time and refunds issues resolved.
Those who may have been affected and think they are in for a refund may want to reach out to customer support. Here’s some information to do that:

Pennsylvania poker players at PokerStars PA experienced a frustrating night at the tables on Thursday. Online poker tournaments, cash games, and other forms of online betting in PA and NJ were interrupted for about an hour around 9 p.m. ET.
It was confirmed today that the issues derived from a network communications error that interrupted geolocation services which online gambling operators rely on. Online tournaments continued while players sat out, many returning to much shorter chip stacks or no chips at all.
As of Friday, the issue appears resolved, with players to receive refunds by Saturday morning. PokerStars communicated the following via Twitter Friday morning:
“Yesterday we experienced issues with our geolocation services. We apologize for any inconvenience. This is now resolved, and you should be able to access your account normally. If you were affected in any tournaments, please allow up to 24 hrs for your account to be refunded.”
This morning, Elizabeth Cronan, VP, Government Relations of GeoGuard/GeoComply provided the following statement to US Poker:
“Last night we encountered an unexpected network communications error, which our team responded to and remedied immediately. We have alerted all affected clients and they are aware of the issue and the steps that were taken to resolve it as quickly as possible.”
The GeoGuard app or plug-in allows online casino and sportsbook players to access their accounts and wager via browser on desktop or mobile. Geolocation software is an important piece of the legal gambling puzzle. It allows operators to confirm a user is indeed within state borders where gambling is approved and regulated. Another company rep confirmed:
“Our internal teams identified an issue that temporarily affected the communication systems within our datacenter.”
The sole reliance on the GeoComply service means most players in Pennsylvania who were gambling online during the outage were affected. Even the mobile gambling apps in the state utilize geolocation via GeoComply, though it is built-in.
While regular daily tournaments were running at PokerStars PA, New Jersey was playing out Thursday’s NJCOOP events, consisting of:
The series wraps up on Monday, with the $125K guaranteed $300 buy-in Main Event kicking off Sunday. PokerStars will hope for no further disruptions.
A poker player in NJ tweeted the following, indicating at least some players were still online while others were “sitting out.”
Another extremely sad day for online poker .. as the geo location software crashes again and I’m watching players just steal chips from the entire table @PokerStarsUSA @WSOPcom .. at least party froze their games

Apparently the same took place at PokerStars PA, with limited players taking advantage and chipping up through defenseless players. PlayPennsylvania has reached out to PokerStars for comment on how this situation will be dealt with, as many players blinded out or down significantly during the downtime.
For any further concerns or issues with the refund, players can contact PokerStars via their customer service page or message @StarsSupport on Twitter.
This story will be updated as additional information becomes available. If you were affected and want to share your story with us, feel free to message us @PlayPANews on twitter.

The post PokerStars PA To Refund Online Poker Players Affected by Geolocation Outage appeared first on Play Pennsylvania.
A geolocation error briefly affected all three legal American online poker operators on Thursday. The service errors caused some players to be frozen out of tournaments as well as with plenty of frustrations.
The problems began around 9 p.m. (ET) and lasted about an hour. The geo-error affected
GeoComply, which legal gaming sites use for geolocation services, was able to correct the problem. However, many players missed out on tournament play as blinds increasing during the lockout.
Per state regulations, anyone gambling online in legal jurisdictions must be located within that state. GeoComply uses software to track a player’s location to make sure he’s complying with state laws.
When a player registers on the service as outside a legal jurisdiction, that player is locked out of the platform. That appears to be the problem in this case and many players in tournaments weren’t able to play.
The company reported that the interruptions were part of “an issue that temporarily affected the communication systems within our datacenter.”
“Last night we encountered an unexpected network communications error, which our team responded to and remedied immediately,” GeoComply Vice President of Government Relations Elizabeth Cronan told USPoker. “We have alerted all affected clients and they are aware of the issue and the steps that were taken to resolve it as quickly as possible.”
The issue affected other forms of online gaming as well including sports betting. The issues affected players not even near a state border.
Similar errors were an occasional problem in the early days of regulated online gaming. However, those issues have mostly been resolved and these types of service interruptions are now rare. PokerStars players in Pennsylvania reported not ever experiencing this kind of outage.
For many poker players, the interruption meant not being able to play at all. Those in a tournament or sit and go saw their avatar dealt out of the action as play continued.
The poker client informed these players that they couldn’t play because they weren’t in a legal jurisdiction.

Brandon Patterson of Altoona, Penn., was playing deep in a $10 turbo with a $1,500 guarantee and a $5 tournament on PokerStars.
When play resumed, he min-cashed in the two tournaments. However, the service interruption may have kept him from winning even more.
“I was right in the middle of the field right before the money and got blinded out,” he says.
The service errors certainly led to some frustrations, but play resumed within an hour. Partypoker US Network as well as its BetMGM and BorgataPoker.com skins suspended tournaments once site officials became aware of the problem.
“We have paused tournaments as we investigate possible geolocation issues that appear to be impacting NJ sites,” the company noted on Twitter right after the interruption. “We appreciate your patience.”
The pause allowed players to resume action at the tables shortly with minimal adverse results.
“After confirming the geolocation issues that impacted NJ sites and tournaments being paused over an hour, all tournaments are in the process of being auto settled per our tournament cancellation policy,” partypoker noted shortly afterward.
PokerStars and WSOP.com didn’t pause events however. In a reply to a player on Twitter, PokerStarsUSA asked others to send a direct message about any issues with payouts. As of Friday morning the direct message option wasn’t available.
However, Stars reached out to players and offered some assurances of players refunds.
Yesterday we experienced issues with our geolocation services. We apologize for any inconvenience. This is now resolved, and you should be able to access your account normally. If you were affected in any tournaments, please allow up to 24 hrs for your account to be refunded.

There were no references to the problems on the official WSOP.com or World Series of Poker Twitter or Facebook accounts.
GeoComply resolved the issues and play is back to normal. Players seeking tournament refunds can contact customer service. Here’s some information to help:

Pennsylvania online poker players will have to wait a little longer before they can play on WSOP.com. According to a Caesars representative, it will now be at least 2021 before WSOP.com PA will launch.
As of now, there remains no specific launch date for WSOP.com PA. A timeline may become available at the start of next year.
After months of anticipation, WSOP.com had moved one step closer to opening in PA following a Sept. 30 meeting of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB). At that meeting, the PGCB approved an interactive gaming manufacturer license for Caesars’ online poker partner 888 Holdings.
That news appeared to indicate a WSOP.com PA launch could be fast approaching. However, there are a couple PA-specific issues that could be causing a delay.
One concerns the need for WSOP to establish a separate server for the PA site per regulatory requirements. The other may involve the question of whether or not WSOP.com will be able to share player liquidity with its sites in other states.
It is not clear whether WSOP.com will necessarily want or need to have such an interstate compact already in place before launching WSOP.com in Pennsylvania. Having one would be favorable, of course, in that it would allow Pennsylvania players to play against larger fields including players from other states.
Such a compact allowed players on WSOP.com sites in Nevada and New Jersey to compete against one another for WSOP online bracelets over the summer.
News of the delay comes just as some Pennsylvania online poker players were starting to think WSOP.com PA was about deal its first virtual hands.
Over the past week some Pennsylvanians with Caesars accounts received promotional messages regarding the imminent launch of WSOP.com PA.
The promotions also appeared on the WSOP.com website for a time, though are not presently posted. Promotions included a 100% deposit match bonus up to $1,000 and entries to Welcome Week Freerolls for new sign-ups.
Meanwhile WSOP.com banner does now include a Harrah’s Philadelphia logo. There is also a PA-specific “House Rules” page on the site, presumably in anticipation of the room’s launch.
The rules mostly concern game play, although do include that “players must be at least 21 years of age, and physically located in the State of Pennsylvania” to play on WSOP.com.
Meanwhile the WSOP-branded live poker room at Harrah’s Philadelphia now appears to be permanently closed. While other PA live rooms are just starting to reopen following COVID-related closures, in August employees of the Harrah’s Philadelphia poker room reported it had closed with no plans to reopen.
Pennsylvania is now approaching the one-year anniversary of the launch of the state’s first legal online room, PokerStars PA. PokerStars launched its Pennsylvania site during the first week of November 2019.
Along with WSOP.com, many have speculated that partypoker could also soon challenge PokerStars’ online poker monopoly in the Keystone State. While a summer or fall launch of partypoker once seemed possible, that, too, currently appears in limbo.
GVC Holdings owns the partypoker platform. Along with MGM, GVC also jointly owns ROAR Digital. For the last few months ROAR has been awaiting approval from the PGCB for its license to operate in Pennsylvania. However the regulators’ iGaming Operators Eligibility List still lists its application status as pending.

The post WSOP.com Pennsylvania Launch Delayed Until 2021 appeared first on Play Pennsylvania.
WSOP has a license to launch in Pennsylvania and has been sending emails to players in the state, yet Caesars says no launch planned until 2021.
The post Is WSOP Coming To Pennsylvania, Or Were Promotional Emails A False Alarm? appeared first on Online Poker Report.
After 888poker was recently approved by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB), a WSOP.com launch in the Keystone State seemed close. That now appears imminent with the recent launch of several online pages related to WSOP.com Pennsylvania.
WSOP.com partners with 888poker for its software in the US. The recent PA online additions include co-branding with WSOP’s partner casino in the state – Harrah’s Philadelphia.
Many players in the state have been eagerly awaiting another poker option and that now appears close. PokerStars entered the state in November 2019, but players should soon have an alternative.
Unlike players in New Jersey and Nevada, players in the Keystone State will welcome in a “ringed-in” WSOP poker market. That means players will only battle against others within the state.
The state hasn’t approved interstate compacts yet because of the issues surrounding the Wire Act.
The Department of Justice has argued the act applies to other forms of online gaming outside sports. The DOJ has lost the first round in court, but the issue remains in appeals court.
PokerStars has been operating in the same environment and found some success. The addition of WSOP.com adds some momentum to the US online poker. While revenue has declined in recent months, 2020 numbers are way up year over year.
Andrew Langston is a 27-year-old recreational player living in York, PA. He is active in PA poker Facebook groups and is a regular online player.
He believes many players in his home state will be excited for a second online poker option. Lagston hopes his home state can be a real leader in regulated US online poker.
“I honestly think it will be great,” Langston says. “While PokerStarsPA has overall been a great addition to poker In the state, it does have its flaws. I think a little competition in the Pennsylvania market will only be good for the players.
“I haven’t done any research yet, but I would hope we will be able to compete with New Jersey and Nevada and be eligible for WSOP events in the future.”
Some competition in the state should make all sites better, Langston believes.
“I think players were excited when PokerStars came to the state but have had some growing pains with them,” he says. “I think a fresh start with WSOP will help give us options and force PokerStars to listen to the players or lose them to a rival site.”
WSOP.com is the online arm of the World Series of Poker and operated by Caesars Interactive Entertainment. While no launch date has been announced yet, Caesars received approval from the PGCB earlier this year.
The company already operates online casino gaming in PA. Now with 888 also receiving approval, a poker launch seemed inevitable.
In its new online branding, WSOP.com has detailed the legalese surrounding the new PA site. The operator has also launched some bonus and information pages as it prepares to enter the market.
WSOP.com remains the US market leader because of its presence in three states, known as the All American Poker Network.
In New Jersey, 888 also operates its own online poker platform. That site as well 888’s Delaware online poker platform, shares player pools with Nevada and New Jersey. It remains unknown if 888 will also run its own poker skin in PA.
WSOP.com adds the cachet of the annual poker series that debuted in Las Vegas in 1970. Players in NJ and Nevada have the opportunity to win WSOP Circuit championship rings as well as online gold bracelets as at the live series.
No plans have been announced in this regard, but PA players should expect some interesting tournament options. WSOP/888 offer players a more narrow number of game variations – Texas Hold’em and Omaha.
Many rounders in the state will simply be pleased to have another option.
PA would make a nice addition to the All American network – doubling the number of players available. The four states with legalized online online poker have populations of:
A future PA addition to the network would bring the All American Poker Network to cover almost 26 million people. Michigan and West Virginia have also legalized online poker but are still in the licensing and regulation stages.
A positive ruling in the Wire Act case could offer even more opportunities for the slowly growing US online market. The Michigan Senate approved a bill legalizing interstate compacts on Sept. 30. The House was expected to do the same.
An interstate compact would also be ideal for West Virginia, a rural state that would struggle as its own market.
A federal appeals court heard arguments in the Wire Act case in June. A ruling is expected soon and could have major ramifications on iGaming beyond poker.
If things continue to go in the gaming industry’s direction, this could offer a shot at major growth in online poker. Adding Pennsylvania to interstate compacts could offer even bigger player and prize pools.
PokerStars also offers online poker in PA and New Jersey. A positive ruling could allow the company to eventually combine those two player pools as well.
USPoker will monitor the Pennsylvania situation as more information becomes available.
