Exclusive: One Week After Launch, PokerStars Michigan Leads US Regulated Market in Cash Game Traffic Exclusive: One Week After Launch, PokerStars Michigan Leads US Regulated Market in Cash Game Traffic
Key Takeaways
  • Saturday, February 6 registered an average of over 500 concurrent cash game seats during the 24-hour period.
  • It can be expected that PokerStars Michigan traffic will enjoy something of a honeymoon period in the first weeks.
  • Given that PA is some 30% larger in terms of population, it would be surprising if Michigan were to stay on top long term.
  • A PokerStars USA network that combined PA, MI and NJ would connect close to 1000 concurrent cash game players.

The first legal online poker room in Michigan, PokerStars.MI, has jumped to the top of the pack of regulated US online poker rooms, the latest cash game traffic data has revealed.

As tracked by independent industry monitor GameIntel, available live exclusively to all subscribers on the PRO Data platform, PokerStars.MI reported 408 average concurrent cash game players over the last seven days.

This was just enough to out-pip its Pennsylvanian counterpart, PokerStars.PA, which recorded an average of 404 over the same period.

It represents a very strong start to Flutter’s latest regulated online poker room launch which went live on Friday, January 29—less than ten days ago.
