FanDuel, the premier online gaming company in North America, announced the launch of PokerStars exclusively on FanDuel, a new best-in-class poker experience available in Michigan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The new platform brings together FanDuel’s market leading presence and the PokerStars legacy to deliver an elevated player experience through a new dedicated poker app and desktop site.

PokerStars exclusively on FanDuel merges player liquidity across markets, forming one of the largest regulated online poker networks in North America. Customers will have access to bigger games, larger prize pools, and a broader selection of tournaments and cash games.

“The launch of PokerStars exclusively on FanDuel brings together two of the most iconic names in gaming and represents a major step forward for online poker in North America. By combining PokerStars’ industry-leading poker experience with FanDuel’s scale and reach, we’re able to deliver bigger games, larger prize pools and a more dynamic experience. We look forward to welcoming players to the tables,” said Aaron Dugan, General Manager of PokerStars at FanDuel.

Players across Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Michigan will be able to participate in the previously announced two $500,000 guaranteed Sunday Million tournaments. A range of promotions and events, including a $150,000 guaranteed “No Sweat” series alongside a full schedule of tournaments and cash games for players of all levels will also be introduced.

Wazdan, the gain-focused developer, has continued to reinforce its impressive North American presence through a partnership with FanDuel, one of the region’s leading iGaming companies.

The agreement marks a significant step for Wazdan’s ongoing global expansion, which sees FanDuel launch with two feature-rich titles simultaneously across Ontario and Michigan, facilitated by Light & Wonder’s aggregation platform.

In Ontario, players can enjoy Mighty Fish: Blue Marlin and 36 Coins, two titles that showcase Wazdan’s signature balance of recognisable themes and performance-driven mechanics. Meanwhile, in Michigan, 12 Bells and Hot Slot: 777 Crown will introduce players to engaging gameplay structures built around clarity, rhythm and feature depth.

Following the initial rollout, FanDuel’s renowned iGaming platform, FanDuel Casino, is set to see its portfolio enriched by an extensive flurry of additional slot offerings, with each carefully chosen game featuring a range of Wazdan’s engagement-boosting mechanics such as Cash Infinity, Hold the Jackpot and Sticky to Infinity, with each designed to elevate entertainment and deliver measurable growth for operators.

The latest expansion builds on Wazdan’s momentum in North America, following successful deployments in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and earlier entries into West Virginia.

Radka Bacheva, Head of Sales at Wazdan, said: “Partnering with FanDuel represents a major milestone in Wazdan’s North American growth strategy and underlines the strong demand for our engagement-driven portfolio across regulated markets.

“FanDuel’s reach and reputation make them an ideal partner, and launching simultaneously in Ontario and Michigan is a powerful way to introduce our games to new audiences. We are confident that our feature-rich titles and proven mechanics will resonate strongly with players and deliver tangible value for FanDuel as we continue to scale our presence across the region.”
