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.

Octoplay is now live in Michigan across BetMGM, FanDuel, Fanatics, and Rush Street Interactive, marking the company’s second U.S. state and largest coordinated market entry to date. The simultaneous go-live with four tier-one operators arrives less than six months after Octoplay’s United States debut in New Jersey.

Since its founding in October 2022, Octoplay has secured active licenses across thirteen regulated jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, New Jersey, Ontario, Michigan, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Malta, Italy, Greece, Romania, and Slovakia. Michigan extends that momentum into the U.S. As one of the top three states by iGaming revenue, it represents a significant market, and Octoplay enters it with four tier-one operators live from day one.

“Just months after our New Jersey debut, Michigan represents the next phase of our U.S. expansion,” says Ralitsa Georgieva, Director of Business Development at Octoplay. “Launching simultaneously with four leading operators shows the confidence the market has in our content. We expect to carry this momentum into additional states throughout 2025.”

Earlier this year, Octoplay ranked first among U.S. rising suppliers by overall index in H1 according to Eilers & Krejcik, underscoring the company’s accelerating trajectory. With Michigan now live and additional state applications in progress, Octoplay is positioned to extend its North American footprint throughout 2025 and beyond.
