With the success of shared liquidity in New Jersey, the focus shifts to the pending launch of online poker in Pennsylvania
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) has stated that it cannot predict the likelihood that online poker operators in the state will be able to combine their Pennsylvania player pools with those in New Jersey, Nevada and Delaware.
The merging of player pools, also known as shared liquidity, is an important aspect of the online poker industry as it allows operators to offer their customers a wider selection of games and bigger tournament prize pools. These incentives attract more participation which in turn attracts even more players to online poker tables, producing more satisfied customers, greater revenues for operators and more tax dollars for the state governments that allow cross-border liquidity sharing.
