FanDuel has announced the launch of its first-ever online poker product, in collaboration with PokerStars. Rumors had been circulating in recent weeks about a possible partnership between the two Flutter-owned companies.
PokerStars players will need to log in to their accounts via the FanDuel banner, rather than through the current poker platform. The current PokerStars software will no longer be available once everything goes live, though poker will still be offered on a separate app. FanDuel didn’t reveal the exact date for the product’s launch in the US and Ontario.
player pools will be shared among Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania
The player pools will be shared among the Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, markets that PokerStars already serves. The linking of Pennsylvania with the two other states has been a long time coming, as it will allow for better traffic and bigger tournament guarantees.
PokerStars players will do not already have FanDuel accounts will need to create them and will receive fresh welcome bonuses when doing so. PokerStars Rewards ends on March 13, and the casino progressive jackpots will be no more from April 12, so all of this could point to a quick rollout.
The strategic move will help PokerStars leverage its existing FanDuel sportsbook user base. This will allow it to cross-sell and boost its competitiveness against operators like WSOP, BetRivers, and BetMGM.
