The three regulators made the announcement through their joint entity, Multi-State Internet Gaming Association LLC, a company registered in Delaware. The company manages the mutual interests of the member states as regards multi-state poker.

State-by-state regulation of online gambling has led to US markets being segregated, or “ring-fenced.”

In 2014, Nevada and Delaware formed a compact to share their traffic, as Delaware’s population was too small to sustain a viable poker ecosystem on its own. New Jersey joined the compact three years later.
