For many players, there is now new hope for regulated gaming enjoyment, as PokerStars and FanDuel have joined forces, two providers promising a better future.
While PokerStars primarily hosts poker players, FanDuel, as a sports betting provider, caters to the poker-savvy group of fantasy league players and sports betting fans.
Initially, this will affect the already regulated states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Ontario, whose players will now compete against each other in one pool.

By gaining FanDuel’s customers, PokerStars expects larger fields in tournaments, resulting in higher prize pools and thus a more attractive offering.
To attract customers, generous sign-up offers are being advertised, aimed at getting existing players excited about the FanDuel casino.
Starting March 13, the old rewards program will be discontinued and replaced by new ones, as will the progressive jackpots. Otherwise, player accounts will remain unaffected for the time being until a relaunch occurs later this year.
