At long last, PokerStars is back in the Wolverine State for the first time since Black Friday in 2011, and becomes Michigan’s first legal poker site. FOX Bet, a mobile sports betting platform powered by the Fox Corporation, is partnering to bring online poker to Michigan.

The state legalized online gambling late in 2019. As of Friday, the online casinos are officially in operation. Michigan is a huge pick up for the US poker industry given the state’s sizable population (10 million).

Poker isn’t the only form of gambling approved in the Wolverine State. Sports betting, blackjack, table games, and slots will also be offered in the Stars Casino, which is the first internet casino to launch in the land of the Maize and Blue.
