PokerStars and FanDuel new poker experience

In a transformative move for the North American iGaming landscape, FanDuel and PokerStars has officially debuted its new, dedicated poker experience across Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

Titled “PokerStars exclusively on FanDuel,” the platform represents a high-stakes synergy between FanDuel’s massive domestic reach and the global pedigree of the PokerStars brand.

Liquidity and Scale: A New Era for US Poker

The primary driver behind this launch is the merging of player liquidity across these three key regulated markets. By creating a unified network, FanDuel now offers one of the largest online poker ecosystems in North America.

For players, this structural shift translates directly into larger prize pools, a more diverse array of cash games, and a significantly higher volume of tournament traffic available 24/7.

Aaron Dugan, General Manager of PokerStars at FanDuel, highlighted the strategic importance of the collaboration:

“The launch of PokerStars exclusively on FanDuel brings together two of the most iconic names in gaming and represents a major step forward for online poker in North America. By combining PokerStars’ industry-leading poker experience with FanDuel’s scale and reach, we’re able to deliver bigger games and a more dynamic experience.”

Tournament Highlights and Promotions

To celebrate the launch, the platform is hosting two $500,000 guaranteed Sunday Million tournaments, marking some of the largest localized guarantees in recent history. Additionally, a $150,000 guaranteed “No Sweat” series has been introduced to attract players of all skill levels.

The new dedicated app and desktop site are now live, offering a streamlined interface that integrates seamlessly with existing FanDuel accounts.
