MGCB greenlights Rush Street Interactive for multi-state poker with Michigan players

(PRESS RELEASE) -- The Michigan Gaming Control Board today announced that Rush Street Interactive has been approved to offer multi-state internet poker play between Michigan, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia, effective 10 June 2025.

On 31 March 2025, Rush Street Interactive submitted its request to participate in multi-state poker under the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement. Following a thorough review, the MGCB determined that Rush Street Interactive meets all Michigan regulatory requirements to conduct multi-state internet poker.

“Multi-state internet poker offers players a larger pool of participants and more opportunities for competitive play,” MGCB Executive Director Henry Williams said. “We’re pleased to authorize Rush Street Interactive to join the multi-state poker community, ensuring a safe, secure, and fair gaming environment for players in Michigan and our partner states.”

Currently, three licensed operators and providers offer multi-state internet poker in Michigan:

- MGM Grand Detroit Casino with BetMGM (November 2024)
- The Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians with World Series of Poker (May 2024)
- The Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians with PokerStars (January 2023)

Michigan joined the MSIGA in 2022. Currently, Delaware, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia are member states of that agreement. Prior to the state joining MSIGA, Michigan poker players could play online only against other players located throughout the state. More information, including the Multistate Poker Submission Form, is available on the MGCB website.

Rush Street Interactive’s approval reinforces the MGCB’s commitment to expanding legal, regulated gaming opportunities while upholding responsible gaming practices and ensuring the integrity of the industry.
