According to Pokerfuse, BetRivers Poker logged its strongest month yet in May 2026, taking 10% of the U.S. regulated online poker market and generating an estimated $828,000 in revenue. That was almost $100,000 more than in April, and the report said it was the best result in the operator’s history for both revenue and market share.
The market was estimated at about $8 million a month. In May, WSOP Online led with $2.8 million, FanDuel followed with $2.6 million and BetMGM Poker was third with $2.3 million; the report said those three operators each accounted for roughly 30% of the market.
BetRivers’ share rose to 9.7% in May from 8.1% in April, and it stood below 7% at the start of the year. The report described that rise as consistent growth despite highly competitive conditions.
April had already brought a record, with estimated revenue of about $737,000 across BetRivers’ four active states, or roughly 8% of the total regulated market. That month also coincided with FanDuel’s April 1 launch of PokerStars exclusively on FanDuel in Michigan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, with shared player liquidity across those markets.
BetRivers entered regulated U.S. online poker with its Pennsylvania debut on October 31, 2024. For roughly the first seven months, Pennsylvania was the only active state, and the early approach was cautious, with limited promotions, modest marketing and no tournament series.
The trajectory shifted after expansion into additional states and the rollout of shared liquidity in June 2025. That made BetRivers only the second operator after WSOP Online to connect player pools across four U.S. states, and the network now spans Delaware, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
In May, Pennsylvania delivered an all-time high of over $350,000 for BetRivers, while Michigan topped $300,000. Pokerfuse linked the gains to continuing software updates and a mix of value-oriented promotions and tournaments, including an early-May update to the tournament lobby.
Those updates landed ahead of the Summer Warm Up Series, a $500,000-guaranteed festival that ran for two weeks, and BetRivers followed it with Added Prizes Week. The operator also ran Micro Mania, a 30-event schedule of small buy-in tournaments that paid out $10,000 in overlays against $50,000 guarantees.
BetRivers was also running the World Soccer Tournament Predictor promotion tied to the World Cup. RSI’s monopoly contract with the Delaware Lottery makes BetRivers the only licensed online poker site in Delaware, while it is the only operator using regulated online poker in West Virginia.
New Jersey remained the missing market. The report said New Jersey’s online poker market was about the same size as Pennsylvania’s, at $2.48 million in each state, and that a launch there would increase BetRivers’ addressable market by 25% and create a five-state network. It said monthly revenue would easily move well above $1 million, but no timeline had been set and the operator was still working toward a debut.
