So, in W. VA it's legal but so far, from what I read, why hasn't Stars expanded there? Granted, there's only something like 1.8 million that would be in a potential player pool but still, it seems like easy money.

Additionally, since they recently combined they recently combined the player pool for MI and NJ, it sounds like it would be easy to roll them in. Is it really THAT difficult to roll new players in, from other states?

I have been wondering the same. WV and CT are both places they could go.

West Virginia is an interesting situation. It would need to join the multi-state igaming agreement for operators to be interested; otherwise the state is too small to be worthwhile. We asked officials recently and they said "If one of our operators came to us and said they wanted to offer multi-state poker," they'd consider it, and "Once Michigan joins, I’m sure there will be a lot of interest.”

Basically, if PokerStars (or anyone else) asks, it could happen pursue it. Now that the dust has settled on PS joining MI and NJ, hopefully this is something that moves forward. It seems the most likely state to expand online poker this year, in my opinion.

Connecticut is a different situation and there's two big issues there. One is that there needs to be a change of law to allow multi-state poker. Second is that there's only two licenses, one is partnered with DraftKings, the other with FanDuel. FanDuel is a sibling of PokerStars, so there might be a path forward there, but its very unclear (and we've failed to get clarity from the regulator there as to what is permitted).

But there doesn't seem to be much interest/appetite there. Joining MSIGA might change that, and maaaybe we could see like a "FanDuel Poker, Powered by PokerStars" in CT - but a lot has to happen for that to become reality.

Apparently there is some hope for SB104 in New Hampshire. There is one more vote in the Senate then it would be sent to the House. Only thing is it does suffer from the low population issue like WV.

Now that WV is in the compact, maybe you see Stars this year? WSOP and Party are dragging their feet. Hopefully PA will join and the operators will be more inclined to link these smaller states. CT is as big as Nevada and WV/RI are as big as Delaware. Would be like 6 million more people if all 3 get added
