PokerStars on FanDuel generated an estimated $2.6 million in online poker revenue across Michigan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania in August, a 14% increase from the same month last year. It was the only brand among the three largest regulated US online poker operators to post year-on-year growth during the month.
The gain came five months after PokerStars shifted US players from its in-house platform to iPoker software and brought its three state networks into one shared player pool. The platform went live exclusively on FanDuel on April 1, with combined liquidity intended to support larger games, prize pools, tournaments and cash-game availability.
PokerStars produced an estimated $12.9 million over the five months following the change, compared with $11.8 million in the equivalent 2025 period, a 9.4% rise. Pokerfuse, citing Poker Industry PRO estimates, reported that New Jersey was growing at roughly 30% year on year, while Pennsylvania continued to decline despite its players joining the larger network. Gambling.com reported that Michigan’s PokerStars activity was growing at a similar pace.
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board recorded total online poker revenue of $2.4 million in August, down 5.15% from a year earlier. That state-wide measure covers more than PokerStars, but is consistent with the reported weakness in PokerStars’ Pennsylvania operation.
Across the regulated US market, online poker revenue was estimated at $8.8 million in August, roughly level with the preceding four months but about 2% below August 2025. WSOP Online, the largest network by estimated revenue, fell 10% year on year, while BetMGM Poker declined 16%.
In New Jersey, PokerStars was the largest individual poker site, although the broader BetMGM network, which includes Borgata and PartyPoker, remained larger in aggregate. The results underline the value operators place on interstate liquidity in a US market legal in relatively few states. Nevada, Delaware and West Virginia are also signatories to the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement, though not all have fully introduced shared tables.
