The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has approved Rush Street Interactive to offer multi-state internet poker, effective 10 June 2025.
This approval allows players in Michigan to compete online with players in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia through the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA). Rush Street submitted its request to join MSIGA on 31 March 2025, and after a thorough review, the MGCB confirmed the company met all necessary regulatory requirements.
“Multi-state internet poker offers players a larger pool of participants and more opportunities for competitive play,” MGCB Executive Director Henry Williams said. “We’re pleased to authorize Rush Street Interactive to join the multi-state poker community, ensuring a safe, secure, and fair gaming environment for players in Michigan and our partner states.”
Rush Street Interactive is now the fourth approved operator to offer multi-state internet poker in Michigan, joining MGM Grand Detroit with BetMGM (approved in November 2024), the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians with World Series of Poker (approved in May 2024), and the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians with PokerStars (approved in January 2023).
Michigan joined MSIGA in 2022, allowing its players to participate in online poker across state lines.
Current MSIGA member states include Delaware, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Before joining the agreement, Michigan players could only compete against others located within the state.
The MGCB said Rush Street Interactive’s approval supports the state’s commitment to expanding legal, regulated online gaming while upholding strong standards for player protection, responsible gaming, and industry integrity.
