🔊 Podcast: The Online Poker Renaissance
In this week’s podcast Steve Ruddock interviews Nick Jones of Poker Industry Pro and Poker Fuse. It’s a fascinating interview discussing the resurgence of online poker.
Here are some key takeaways:
Significant Resurgence: The US online poker market is experiencing a notable resurgence, with more activity in the past year than in the preceding decade. This is attributed to increased shared liquidity, new operator launches, and growing competition. Nick Jones is quoted as saying, "I feel like more has happened in US online poker in the last year than the prior 10."
Pennsylvania's Entry into MSIGA: Pennsylvania's recent entry into the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA) is a crucial development. This allows for shared player pools with existing member states (New Jersey, Michigan, and Nevada), a move that was previously delayed due to Wire Act concerns.
New Operator Launches: The launch of BetRivers Poker (formerly Phil Galfond's Run It Once Poker) is highlighted as a promising development, despite its current limitation to Pennsylvania. Its potential for multi-state expansion is noted.
Future Predictions (2026): Looking ahead to 2026, Nick Jones predicts an expansion of multi-state networks and hopes for increased competition. The possibility of including Canadian provinces like Ontario or Alberta in these networks is also raised.
Poker's Unique Position: The source underscores poker's distinct place within the broader gaming industry. It highlights the tension between minimal legalization efforts and high consumer demand, and the important role of events like the World Series of Poker in maintaining momentum and interest.
It’s a great interview. Enjoy!
