PokerStars on FanDuel was the only one of the big three US-regulated online poker brands to post year-over-year growth in August, according to a Gambling.com market report. The brand generated an estimated $2.6 million across Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, up 14% from the same month in 2025.
The report did not identify any direct change for West Virginia players. However, it did note that West Virginia is one of the signatories to the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement, a framework tied to shared online poker liquidity between states.
August gain followed move to iPoker and a three-state pool
PokerStars moved its US players onto iPoker software in April 2026. That switch also combined Michigan and New Jersey, which already shared player liquidity, with Pennsylvania into a single three-state pool.
In the five months since the change, PokerStars on FanDuel generated an estimated $12.9 million in revenue, up 9.4% from $11.8 million in the comparable period a year earlier, according to the report.
Most of that growth has come from New Jersey, where PokerStars NJ was described as the single largest individual online poker site in the state. The report said PokerStars NJ is growing 30% year over year, with Michigan expanding at a similar pace. Pennsylvania, by contrast, is still in decline despite joining the larger shared pool.
Why the report matters for West Virginia
The source says liquidity sharing is one of the main ways online poker operators can grow revenue in the limited number of states where the product is legal. It also says the Michigan-New Jersey-Pennsylvania setup is being watched closely as a model for other interstate arrangements.
That is the clearest West Virginia angle in this story. West Virginia was listed among the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement signatories alongside Nevada and Delaware, but the report also said not all signatories have gone fully live with shared tables yet.
For now, the article points to broader industry interest in shared liquidity rather than any reported launch, revenue figure or player-access change in West Virginia.
