DraftKings launched its shared player pool on 8 July in partnership with the Bay Mills Indian Community, the operator’s tribal gaming partner in the state.
In a release on 13 July, the MGCB said it approved the launch after it determined that DraftKings met regulatory requirements for multi-state internet poker.
In 2022, Michigan joined the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA), which allows licensed operators to merge player pools across participating states.
