Michigan's 1 April 2026 announcement reported approval for FanDuel's PokerStars-branded poker across Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Michigan's 1 April 2026 release names FanDuel as the approved poker provider, PokerStars as the brand its new platform would use in Michigan and MotorCity Casino as the local operator partner. Suggested offer practice: retain these roles and announcement date instead of attributing the same authorization to every similarly named service.
