    Pokerstars Pennsylvania is live

    Here's a detailed article about it from Jess Welman, longtime industry person: https://www.playpennsylvania.com/pok...-poker-launch/

    I predict it will be somewhat of a failsite unless it manages to merge with other states. Pennsylvania is the biggest population state to have online poker so far, but only about 35% bigger than NJ, where online poker has been a fail for the most part.

    Is a merged NV and NJ or PA considered a bigger player pool?

    So far so good, imo. Between 700-1800 players online whenever I’ve been on there. Good low stakes NLHE action, daily freerolls, decent deposit bonuses (100% up to $600, relatively easy to clear), the “opening chests” rakeback system kinda sucks. Not much LHE action to speak of, which is disappointing...

    ... but hey, finally playing legal online poker after all these years is pretty cool.

    Wonder what’s going to happen when other operators open up shop — I’m kinda enjoying the player pool liquidity a monopoly creates — and it will also be interesting to see whether eventually combining with NJ/DE pools will help sustain these (and higher stakes) games longer term.
