More than two years after Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf signed legislation that allowed online poker in the Keystone State. For the 18 months since, there was an only provider in the state. But it is getting some competition as more operators prepare to enter the market.
Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board Director of Communications Doug Harbach told that 3 big names are getting a chair in the table, BetMGM Poker and Borgata Poker were scheduled to begin a two-day testing phase, similar to a soft launch, on Tuesday.
The sites will operate completely separately from one another, and under different casino licenses, but will have nearly identical skins since both use Entain’s software to run their virtual poker rooms.
In the New Jersey market, BetMGM and Borgata operate under the partypoker network, which will also be the case in Pennsylvania.
Since both sites are operating under the partypoker brand, the two sites will share player pools. Anyone playing on BetMGM will also be playing against those playing on Borgata Poker.
Aside from the two partypoker-based sites, it appears that WSOP.com will enter the market as well. Although there have been no official announcements, the Caesars-owned online poker site has updated its website to reflect a possible launch.
