FanDuel Poised to Take #1 in US Online Poker

EXCLUSIVE • PokerStars Exclusively on FanDuel enjoys another strong month in May 2026, nipping at the heels of market leader WSOP. It could lead the market as early as this fall — if it plays its cards right.

Ones to watch headed into Day 5 of WSOP Main Event.

Thanks for this @PokerLife!

How did we miss this beauty on Monday?

No notes.

Doug Polk breaking down some top stories from the WSOP Main Event.

Doug always puts out good videos, and this one rounds up the action at the Main, including his own hand reviews of his run.

However, Polk goes on to say that maybe one reason participation is down at this year’s Main Event is due to the fact that online gambling is now available in many states. This means people don’t need to travel to play live poker—they can do so from the comfort of home.

Just to remind everyone, online poker is only legal in a handful of US states, notably (New Jersey, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Michigan).

Anything else is grey-market at best, and I doubt it has any bearing on WSOP Main Event participation levels.

Check out all the biggest stories from the 2026 WSOP Main Event so far.

Doug Polk brings you a quick recap of some of the biggest stories from this year’s Main Event, including Mike Matusow’s exposed card controversy, the hand that ended Polk’s run in the big one, and more.

The end of day, Day 4 WSOP Main Event chip counts are in.

Thanks to Chad Holloway for reminding me of this gem. Old Men Grooving still got the moves, this time at the WSOP.

I think I actually watched this when it aired 11 years ago 🤓🤣

This is exciting. Ex- WSOP Main Event champions who are doing into Day 5 of the 2026 edition.

Micheal Mizrachi, Ryan Riess and Greg Raymer continue in the competition.

🫧 Chris Moneymaker in his own words, on bubbling the 2026 WSOP Main Event.

He ended up breaking even, so not all was lost. But as Chris says, he was still disappointed to bust, despite getting lucky in certain spots.

Wait, Caitlin Comeskey was fired from PokerStars?

Honestly, I thought her content for them back in the day was a great fit for the brand.

I don’t understand big corporations sometimes, but maybe all the layoffs at PokerStars and FanDuel played a part in scaling back their ambassadorships.

But now look. She heads into Day 5 of the WSOP Main Event. Let’s goooo!
