PokerStars on the new FanDuel Poker platform has now been live for more than two months. Branded as PokerStars Exclusively on FanDuel, the platform launched on April 1, combining players from New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania into a shared player pool.
The impact was immediate. According to Poker Industry PRO DB figures, PokerStars on FanDuel became the largest online poker network in the US as soon as it launched.
By the end of its second week, FanDuel Poker had climbed to a PRO Score of 326. The PRO Score combines both tournament and cash game traffic to provide an overall measure of network activity.
By the end of April, that figure had eased to 229 as the initial launch surge began to fade. Even so, the network remained the market leader and continued to hold an advantage over its closest rivals.

While FanDuel Poker topped the traffic charts throughout April, the more important question is how that translated into revenue.
Based on estimates compiled by PRO, PokerStars on FanDuel generated approximately $2.74 million in gross revenue across its three-state network during April. That placed it second only to WSOP, which produced around $2.9 million while benefiting from access to four states, including exclusive operations in Nevada.
Calculating FanDuel Poker’s exact revenue is not straightforward due to the way online poker revenue is reported across US jurisdictions. New Jersey remains the only state that publishes revenue figures by individual poker skin rather than by license holder, allowing precise revenue tracking there. Other states, including Michigan, do not separately disclose online poker revenue at the operator level.
Pennsylvania presents an additional challenge, as revenue is reported under the licensed land-based casino rather than the individual online brand.
In New Jersey, where operator-level figures are publicly available, PokerStars on FanDuel was the state’s largest standalone online poker site during April. As previously reported, the platform generated nearly $770k in revenue, a substantial increase from roughly $500k in March.
For comparison, WSOP generated $695k during the same month, while BetMGM Poker brought in $586k, Borgata Poker $415k, and PartyPoker $171k. Although BetMGM, Borgata, and PartyPoker operate within the same shared network and collectively produced about $1.17 million, PokerStars on FanDuel remained the clear leader when examining individual brands.
PRO estimates also indicate strong results in Michigan, where FanDuel Poker generated approximately $939k in revenue, making it the leading individual poker site in the state. Pennsylvania told a similar story, with PokerStars/FanDuel estimated to have surpassed the $1 million mark and finished ahead of competing operators.
Across all three states, FanDuel Poker’s estimated April revenue reached $2.74 million. That left it narrowly behind WSOP’s $2.9 million total, but represented a remarkable turnaround for PokerStars. Revenue increased by more than $1 million compared to the previous month. More notably, the April result was the strongest in a year, effectively reversing twelve consecutive months of decline and returning the brand to levels last seen in April 2025.
April may prove to be the closest FanDuel Poker comes to overtaking WSOP in total revenue. Monthly revenue reports for May are expected within days, and FanDuel Poker is likely to remain the leading standalone operator in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. However, the gap between the two brands is expected to narrow.
The arrival of the summer months will likely shift momentum back toward WSOP Online. June and July traditionally represent the strongest period of the year for WSOP as the online bracelet schedule runs alongside the live World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, driving traffic and revenue across its network.
What About Traffic Today?
As we await the latest revenue reports, traffic data is available in real time through SharkScope Analytics, which tracks cash game and tournament activity across dozens of online poker networks worldwide.
As expected, WSOP Online currently sits atop the US market. The ongoing online bracelet series has provided a significant boost, as it does every year, and the operator is widely expected to maintain that advantage through the end of July.
WSOP Online currently holds a PRO Score of 295, ahead of FanDuel Poker’s 241. Despite trailing in overall network activity, FanDuel Poker continues to lead the market in cash game traffic.
As of June 9, FanDuel Poker was averaging 281 cash game seats on a 30-day moving average. WSOP Online stood at 220, followed by BetMGM Poker at 194 and BetRivers Poker at 126.

The relaunch of PokerStars under the FanDuel brand has clearly altered the competitive landscape. After a year of declining traffic and revenue, the network has re-emerged as a major force and has injected fresh competition into the US online poker market.
That competitive pressure could increase further in the coming months. BetRivers Poker is preparing to launch in New Jersey, which would become its fifth active state and one of the most important markets within its network.
There is also a realistic possibility that FanDuel Poker expands into West Virginia. FanDuel already holds an online casino license in the state, which is a member of the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA) and shares liquidity with participating jurisdictions. At present, BetRivers Poker is the only operator taking advantage of that opportunity. However, industry expectations are that PokerStars and FanDuel will eventually follow, potentially launching in the state before the end of the year or, at the latest, in early 2027.
