PokerStars is preparing to integrate more closely with FanDuel through a new PokerStars x FanDuel Hub, which is a new shift for Pennsylvania online poker players.
It’s a move that could streamline how players access games and potentially position the brand for larger shared liquidity opportunities down the road.
Here’s what players in the Keystone State need to know.
What is the PokerStars x FanDuel Hub?
PokerStars is teaming up with FanDuel to create a centralized hub that connects the two brands under one ecosystem. For players, the biggest change is that poker will operate through the FanDuel Casino account login, creating a more unified experience across products.
That means one wallet, one account, and easier access between the FanDuel Sportsbook and PA online casino offerings and PokerStars’ poker platform.
The poker software and tournament formats players are familiar with aren’t expected to disappear. Instead, the shift is more about branding, access, and operational alignment.
If you already have a FanDuel account, the transition should be relatively seamless. If not, you’ll likely need to create one to continue playing as the PokerStars app will appear to discontinue. Creating a new account will net new users 500 Bonus Spins and up to $1,000 back as a casino bonus.
Neither operator announced an official launch date, however, it did provide detail on the conclusion of rewards in the PokerStars app:
“PokerStars Rewards will deprecate on March 13th and all players will receive full cash payment for their unopened chests as well as the pro-rated amounts for their progress bars for current play.”
Why this matters for Pennsylvania players
This move comes at an important time. In 2025, Pennsylvania officially joined the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA), allowing the state to share online liquidity with other participating states such as New Jersey, Michigan, Nevada, Delaware, and West Virginia.
For players, shared liquidity is the real headline.Bigger player pools mean:
- Larger tournament prize pools
- More consistent cash game traffic
- Faster table fills
- Expanded game variety
While PokerStars has not yet fully integrated Pennsylvania players into a shared liquidity network, the state’s entry into MSIGA opens the door. The FanDuel partnership could help position PokerStars for broader interstate player pooling in the future.
The Flutter connection
It’s also worth noting that both FanDuel and PokerStars are owned by Flutter Entertainment, one of the largest gambling companies in the world. This isn’t a random partnership — it’s a strategic alignment within the same corporate family.
For players, that likely means long-term investment, marketing power, and promotional crossovers between brands.
What players should do now
If you’re a current PokerStars PA player, keep an eye on account communications regarding the transition. Make sure your FanDuel account information is up to date, and watch for promotional offers tied to the hub launch.
With Pennsylvania now part of MSIGA and major brands consolidating under Flutter, the state’s online poker market appears poised for growth.
For grinders and recreational players alike, that could translate into more action — and bigger opportunities — in the months ahead.
