$5,000 Welcome Bonus
Last month we told you that Michigan online poker could become part of a larger poker compact that already exists between Nevada, New Jersey, and Delaware. And now, just a few weeks later, they have done exactly what they set out to do. Interstate poker is live in Michigan, and players there can sit down at the virtual tables with players from these other states. By joining, Michigan online poker will enjoy bigger tournaments, larger prizes pools, and more cash games running!
If you were hoping for New York online casinos or poker this year, we have some bad news for you. State legislators could not get a deal done in regard to a measure being pushed by State Senator Addabbo, who also pushed sports betting reforms there. The current legislative session will end on 2 June with nothing accomplished for online casino games or poker. Given the history of difficulties in the state, New York online gambling will most likely become a reality within the next several years.
