More details about the Lodge situation coming out from examining the affidavit.

It looks like the Lodge serving alcohol did play at least some role in the recent development, at least according to one part of the affidavit that Chad Holloway dug up.

The issue, it seems, is that a business holding an alcohol license could not hold poker tournaments where real money is at stake.

While this may sound like a minor issue, it could give the DA a solid footing in claiming that the gambling taking place inside the club was illegal (i.e., not done fully in compliance with all relevant laws).

A new era of PokerStars is coming in the US and Ontario.

As you already know, PokerStars is about to get merged with FanDuel in North America. It will be quite a major shake-up and some big changes are coming with it.

Here’s what we know so far about FanDuel Poker:

  • Legacy PokerStars software will be retired in the US and Ontario
  • Players from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Michigan will be pooled together
  • New platform will include a built-in HUD (with option to turn it off + allow third-party HUDs)
  • Players will need to create new screen names
  • Separate welcome offer for poker players (available to everyone)
  • Mixed games are expected down the line
  • Zoom & Spin & Go formats will be available
  • New software, but with a familiar PokerStars look and feel
  • April 30 is the deadline to withdraw from existing PokerStars accounts
  • No official launch date for the merger yet

One more thing: PokerStars Rewards has already been discontinued for US players, and there’ll be no rewards until the new platform goes live.

That’s now SEVEN jackpots in the last ~30 days, and NINE already this year.

For context? There were 16 total jackpot hits in all of 2025.

Spin & Gold is on an absolute heater right now.
