News from 2+2 legend Kevmath this morning that he received an email which hints partypoker could be available in Nevada by this March.



Steve Ruddock has the story for BettingUSA.

Steve writes that "based on the screenshot posted by Mathers, it looks like WSOP.com’s Nevada online poker monopoly will soon come to an end. Partypoker is also planning to launch in Pennsylvania, but Nevada is the only state that makes sense for a March 2020 US Network."

This is being called Party Poker US Network. But do any of the current or up coming legal US sites have plans to mix the US players into their rest of the world player pools?

As if Nevada poker wasn't nitty enough now you can play Nevada online poker split between two rooms.

Probably not, aside from the already linked New Jersey, Nevada, and Delaware online poker markets through MSIGA.

Even then, I don't believe mixing with ROW player pools is going to happen for at least a few years, perhaps much longer. Countries that are about to begin major 5G network infrastructure changes are mainly isolating into their own ring-fenced borders. You can read more about what Russia and U.S. govt's are currently doing in this regard from the RUNET thread here in NVG.

partypokerUS (separate from partypoker dot-com -- Rob Yong has nothing to do with partypokerUS) would likely link its incoming Nevada market to New Jersey, but the big "shared liquidity" prizes remain Pennsylvania and Michigan.







Both states would need formal approval from regulators before compacting with NJ/NV/DE.

Also there's the ongoing Wire Act interpretation suit which may eventually reach the U.S. Supreme Court. Pennsylvania regulators informed operators to ensure they're in compliance with the new Wire Act opinion and that its iGaming market will be intrastate/ring-fenced as a result. Until there's a clarification/resolution to the federal government's revised opinion, it's highly unlikely that more states will compact aside from the already existing NJ/NV/DE markets.

It will be interesting to see if Michigan regulators (through the yet-to-be-created Michigan Gaming Control Board) form a framework for compacting for when/if the New Hampshire Lottery Commission suit with the DOJ runs its entire course.

No way this happens until the US government green lights it IMO. In other words, no time in the near future, and likely not in the mid-term either.

Thanks charder, was coming here specifically to post this update.

The article explains how partypoker Nevada is not an urgent priority at the moment and is very unlikely to launch any time around March 2020 as initially suggested.

With that said, the article leads one to conclude that partypoker Nevada will become a reality at some point, just not as soon as some would have hoped.

What do you think the 250k partyus freeroll is for?

It can only apply to New Jersey at the moment. partypoker could launch in ring-fenced Pennsylvania soon, but the "network" part is a bit confusing b/c PA games wouldn't form part of another statewide network.
