Players in Pennsylvania<\/strong> now have another online poker option. The partypoker US Network<\/strong> launched in the state with the BetMGM<\/strong> and Borgata Poker<\/strong> skins on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

PokerStars<\/strong> has been the only operator in the state since November 2019, but now has some competition. With the two new skins, partypoker now has operations in New Jersey<\/strong>, Michigan<\/strong>, and Pennsylvania<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Details on the partypoker US Network launch<\/span><\/h2>\n

Poker players in the Keystone State will welcome another online option. They can now register at either skin, which share player and prize pools.<\/span><\/p>\n

The two brands may offer different promotions<\/strong> and bonuses<\/strong> as well as some exclusive tournaments<\/strong>. BetMGM is partnered with Hollywood Casino <\/strong>in Grantville in the state and Borgata Poker with Rivers Philadelphia<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Party is believed to have been beta testing<\/strong> the platform in the state on Monday. The platform will also be in testing mode for the first two days of play.<\/span><\/p>\n

Partypoker US Network is part of Roar Digital<\/strong>, a partnership between Entain<\/strong> (owner of the international partypoker) and MGM Resorts<\/strong>. The company offers BetMGM, Borgata Poker, and partypoker skins in New Jersey.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company also launched the BetMGM skin in Michigan in March, where Stars was also the only option.<\/span><\/p>\n

That brings the company\u2019s total states to three. All of those operate as \u201cringed-in\u201d markets<\/strong>, meaning players only compete against others in each state.<\/span><\/p>\n

The recent federal court ruling regarding the Wire Act<\/strong> eventually clears the way for interstate compacts<\/strong>. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan would offer partypoker US Network an overall population of almost 32 million<\/strong> in the three states.<\/span><\/p>\n

What to expect from partypoker in PA<\/span><\/h2>\n

Poker fans can expect a similar software experience to what players find on the international platform. Players can look for poker festivals like the popular Online Series<\/strong> and possibly even occasional World Poker Tour<\/strong>-branded events.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Partypoker partners with the WPT and the two have teamed up for major online events in New Jersey. The site offers plenty of cash games<\/strong> as well as tournaments<\/strong>, including Sunday majors and daily events.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of those include events like the Daily $10K with $10,000<\/strong> guaranteed and the Sunday $40K with $40,000<\/strong> guaranteed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Players will also find the popular Spins<\/strong> tournaments, small jackpot-style sit and go\u2019s. Party\u2019s FastForward<\/strong> also offers a \u201cquick-fold\u201d game option similar to those found on other sites.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both make use of partypoker software, which has seen major improvements over the last few years. Party has worked to improve the player experience and that includes the mobile app<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The app has seen major upgrades, including allowing players to play with one hand more easily. Players can also now more easily play at multiple tables at once. PA players should find a similar platform.<\/span><\/p>\n

More good news for online poker players<\/span><\/h2>\n

Pennsylvania has become a nice online poker market for the industry. The state produced $2.4 million<\/strong> in online poker revenue in March, with PokerStars as the only operator.<\/span><\/p>\n

That was a small decrease from February\u2019s $2.5 million<\/strong>. However legalized states have seen record revenue highs over the last year and that includes PA.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adding partypoker in PA adds even more momentum for the industry. Five states are now offering legal, regulated online poker including:<\/span><\/p>\n
