Michigan State has signed a multijurisdictional poker agreement which allows online players in the jurisdiction to compete across state lines. Poker enthusiast in the Great Lake State can now compete\u00a0against those based in Delaware, Nevada and New Jersey.<\/p>\n

The agreement was put into effect by\u00a0Michigan Gaming Control Board<\/a>\u00a0Executive Director Henry Williams and gives the state membership in the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement.<\/p>\n

While the news that Michigan would be joining was already announced\u00a0last month, it was still pending the full execution of the agreement by the state, which has now been finalized.<\/p>\n

Williams said:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI am happy to announce Michigan has joined the multistate poker compact, and much of the increased tax revenue from multistate poker will go to support K-12 education in Michigan. By joining, Michigan will almost double the potential pool of participants in multistate poker games.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The groundwork was done when in December 2020 State Legislature 2020 passed a bill to allow the MGCB to join a multijurisdictional poker compact, offering stateside residents the ability to compete with poker players in other states. Sen. Curtis Hertel (D-East Lansing) sponsored bill PA 327, which was signed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Dec. 29, 2020.<\/p>\n

Sen. Hertel said:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMichigan poker players will enjoy more options and will likely play for bigger money\u00a0when they can compete against players from other states. I am glad we were able to make this possible for Michigan poker players.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

O<\/strong>perators and associated platform providers<\/strong> that wish to <\/strong>obtain MGCB authorization to launch multistate poker, <\/strong>will first have to<\/strong> complete a number of steps<\/strong>, the MGCB said. This April guidance on participation requirements for these parties were issued.<\/p>\n
