PokerStars' merger with its New Jersey and Michigan online poker sites is already creating a huge growth in revenue, and it's just the beginning of things to come.
As of January 1, PokerStars, the world's largest online poker site, became the first to begin shared liquidity between the two states. Merging player pools between two states with a combined population of nearly 20 million is significant for the online poker industry in the United States.
"Michigan and New Jersey joining forces is great news for our players in these two states, and poker, more generally," said PokerStars US Managing Director, Severin Rasset at the time.
