The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has granted authorization to Rush Street Interactive to launch multi-state online poker, beginning on June 10, 2025.

This endorsement enables Michigan players to engage in online competition with users from Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia via the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA). Rush Street submitted its application for MSIGA participation on March 31, 2025, and following a comprehensive evaluation, the MGCB confirmed that Rush Street complied with all requisite regulatory standards.

“Multi-state online poker presents players with a broader participant pool, enhancing competitive opportunities,” emphasized MGCB Executive Director Henry Williams. “We are excited to permit Rush Street Interactive to join the multi-state poker network, ensuring a safe, secure, and fair gaming atmosphere for players in Michigan and related states.”

Rush Street Interactive is now the fourth operator approved to provide multi-state online poker in Michigan, following MGM Grand Detroit’s BetMGM (approved November 2024), the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians with World Series of Poker (approved May 2024), and the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians with PokerStars (approved January 2023).

Michigan became part of MSIGA in 2022, enabling its players to compete in online poker across state lines.

Current states affiliated with MSIGA include Delaware, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Prior to joining the agreement, players in Michigan could only compete against others within the state.

The MGCB highlighted that the approval of Rush Street Interactive reinforces the state’s commitment to expanding legal and regulated online gaming, while maintaining rigorous standards for player safety, responsible gaming, and industry integrity.
