No recent intel on the timeline for PA to join NJ/NV and Delaware for online gaming. I'm sure that details get more and more complicated as more states that get involved. So hopefully MI gets on it's horse and moves things along .. which may attract the stronger pool from PA to get in there as well.

Couple articles indicate that PA pool is larger than the other three combined so far, with the exception of the WSOP action last year, then NV dropped like a rock. PA, like MI, only has Stars right now even though there are a few more than 'could' start up (like Party Poker) but have chosen not to.

I think July is a bit too optimistic, but you never know. MI has to have exceeded all expectations so far and no better time to push things forward than when the numbers look good. GL

PA was pretty friendly about the idea before the new wire act interpretation happened. Stars has a lot of incentive to have have all 3 together by summer or end of the year at the latest. I only mention the summer because it's the best time to get it started, but it could definitely be optimistic it's just my guess. NJ/NV pushed very hard to be live for WSOP when they went live, even without WSOP it's still a great time for Stars to feed off the hype elsewhere. With NJ involved it gives reason to expect it to go quick, they already have the frame work.

There were 3,500 people on last night. Not bad for a site that's limited to one state and has only been open for a month.

It's the busiest US regulated site already by traffic according to an article I read earlier and pokerscout seems to agree from their chart:

Yeah, Stars MI is crushing it for one state. MI, PA, and NJ combined would be a top 5-7 site in the world instantly. North Dakota, Illinois, and IN all looking to do something, hopefully we get some movement this month in regards to new states passing legislation.

It may take a little bit, but we're as close as we've ever been since BF. Once we get 1 big pact we'll get the USA again. Feels good to be optimistic about this again, it's been awhile.

Yes, they would be be a little bit bigger if only PA and NJ joined and way bigger if the rest of the legal states did. One thing to consider is that there is a lot of people that will commute to Michigan to play, especially right now with casinos closed for poker in surrounding areas. The two biggest options for me to play live were Hammond and Cinci and they don't have rooms now.

So if IN, IL or OH gets poker and MI isn't joined up you won't see the same numbers you're seeing now. I for example drive 2.5 hours to come play there from Indianapolis.

The sportsbook has a bet if Michigan or Michigan State scores a point you double your bet how much can you bet on this?

When you hit the 'max' button, you'll see that $10 is the max bet. Also, the fine print on the bottom of the pop-up ad also displays that $10 is the max bet.

*I only use Desktop version
it's annoying af, but part of the law or the legal regulations mandate every site including pokerstars automatically log you out after only 15 minutes of inactivity.

15 minute inactivity is annoying for sure, but PointsBet continues to end my session (desktop) even when I'm clicking buttons, and placing bets. Sometimes this happens a minute from when I log in to sometimes 5-10 minutes. I haven't had this issue on mobile PointsBet. Support hasn't been any help, and I've seen no complaints about this issue from any other user. All other operators that I bet on don't have this issue. If no fix happens soon, I'll be cashing out most of my balance and just saving the rest for promotions.

ACR should continue to dominate unless PS can band together with the other states

haven't read this thread much at all but I assume thats the end goal or short term goal soon

Heads up: I just noticed “The Grind” promotion on the BetMGM app. It looks like their monthly poker rakeback rewards program. No info provided on how much rake must be paid to earn each point. But hopefully this means the partypoker launch is getting close. *fingers crossed*

Awesome! I just downloaded the app for iOS and logged in. Looks like there’s only a handful of people on right now at the cash tables. Surprised they’re not doing more to market their opening, but I guess this is the same path that PokerStars took when they launched. LOL.

The 100% didnt have a promo code listed that I could see so my deposit defaulted to the FASTCASH50 and now if I go back to the deposit menu, as if to deposit more, I see MCW1000 which I have no clue as to what it is. Edit 2: That is a casino bonus, no thanks.


Edit: I also don't see where in the lobby, or site, you can see your bonuses and their status. I found the promotions > active promotions but the FASTCASH50 isn't listed under active, just under poker... looks like they might be having issues with the deposit bonuses.

Looks like the Poker bonus is 'up to' $600 and is release in 10% increments of your initial deposit based on play. Don't know the code .. didn't go that far yet. Hopefully it's still around after Spring Break and tax time for me as I don't want to get caught up in another site this week. GL

The mods here at 2+2 can't clarify anything about a Party software issue. There is a Party specific thread that just started today but I doubt any Party mods are watching it yet, or if they even ever will. The OP of that thread posted a chat with party support about his specific deposit issues and it looks like they are having issues with the deposit bonuses so I sent Party support an email about my own issues.

Wife wants to go to Italy next year. I started thinking how nice it would be to be able to play poker on the plane, although I think a more accurate word would be that I was dreaming how nice it would be since it's never going to happen. However, I wondered was that ever even possible pre UIGEA?
