After some stops and starts, Pennsylvania<\/strong> online poker players received good news on Wednesday. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board<\/strong> (PGCB) approved an interactive gaming license for BetMGM\/Roar Digital<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The two companies partner in the US to offer the partypoker US Network<\/strong> in the US. Pennsylvania would make the platform’s second state offering online poker.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, a potential launch date hasn’t been announced and Roar officials had no comment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting the online poker party started in PA?<\/span><\/h2>\n

A new poker site in PA would give players at least another option. Under PGCB regulations, the <\/span>MGM\/Roar is recognized as a Qualified Gaming Entity<\/strong> (QGE). That means it operates as a stand-alone entity and doesn’t need a land-based partner.<\/span><\/p>\n

The PGCB also approved the company for sports betting<\/strong> (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. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The company was expected to be approved in August. PGCB chief enforcement counsel Cyrus Pitre<\/strong> spoke on the subject at the group’s July 8 meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, that timeline was delayed and apparently shifted to October. Players will now be awaiting to see when the platform might launch.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Pennsylvania, players would find another “ringed-in<\/strong>” online poker option. That means users can only play others within the state. PokerStars already operates in this manner.<\/span><\/p>\n

WSOP.com<\/strong> operates the only shared liquidity pact among Nevada<\/strong>, New Jersey<\/strong>, and with 888poker<\/strong> in Delaware. The future of interstate compacts remains unknown until the legal challenges regarding the Wire Act<\/strong><\/a> play out.<\/span><\/p>\n

What to expect from a partypoker launch<\/span><\/h2>\n

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<\/a> to its mobile app<\/strong> in recent months.<\/span><\/p>\n

In New Jersey, the platform also includes the BetMGM and BorgataPoker.com<\/strong> skins. It’s unknown if there will be additional skins in PA.<\/span><\/p>\n

In recent months, party has ramped up some of its offerings in New Jersey. The company partners with the World Poker Tour<\/strong> for live and online events internationally.<\/span><\/p>\n

That has also carried over to two recent events in New Jersey. The WPT Online Borgata Series<\/strong> in September featured 11 events and an overall guarantee of $275,000<\/strong>. The series proved a hit and ultimately paid out $912,000<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pennsylvania offers a nice opportunity for even more events like this if the platform launches. With a population of almost 13 million<\/strong>, the state is the largest with legalized online poker. That’s about 4 million<\/strong> more than in the Garden State.<\/span><\/p>\n

Partypoker could help grow PA market<\/span><\/h2>\n

PokerStars<\/strong> launched in the Keystone State in November 2019<\/strong> 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

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<\/strong> after an August total of $2.7 million<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The site has brought major series like the PA Championship of Online Poker (PACOOP<\/strong>) and major events like Pennsyl-MANIA<\/strong> to the state.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

More PA live poker rooms reopen<\/span><\/h2>\n

Beyond online poker, many players have been happy to see live poker return in the Keystone State. Mount Airy<\/strong> was the first to return on Oct. 16<\/strong>. Others that have returned recently include:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Meadows Racetrack and Casino<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Mohegan Sun Pocono<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Rivers Philadelphia<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    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<\/strong> revenues up further.<\/span><\/p>\n

    In September, table games accounted for $59.2 million<\/strong> in casino revenue. That’s down from August’s $65.1 million<\/strong> and $70.6 million<\/strong> in September 2019. <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

    “The reopening of poker rooms will add to the positive performance of table games,” PGCB executive director Kevin O’Toole<\/strong> noted in Wednesday’s meeting about the recent reopening of live poker rooms.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Many Pennsylvania players are also hoping a new online poker room heads their way soon as well. USPoker<\/em> will continue to update this story as more details emerge.<\/p>\n
