Players were waiting for such a long time, that they had eventually started to doubt that it would ever happen. However, there\u2019s finally some good news, as PokerStars has announced that it will be<strong> launching in the state\u2019s newly regulated gaming market by November 4<\/strong><sup><strong>th<\/strong><\/sup>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally, online poker was supposed to have launched in\nJuly to coincide with the start of the 50<sup>th<\/sup> World Series of Poker.\nHowever, there were delays abound, and players across the state were left\nwondering when exactly they would be able to play in cash games and tournaments\nonline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will be a <strong>soft launch for PokerStars <\/strong>in Pennsylvania, a testing period to determine whether or not the site is ready for access by players throughout Pennsylvania. There are a number of factors that need to be considered when launching a poker site in a regulated market, for example, ensuring that the geolocation technology is properly functional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Douglas Harbach, a spokesperson for the Pennsylvania Gaming\nControl Board says: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have staff prepared to initiate and oversee a test launch this Monday of another online casino gaming site, this one licensed under Mount Airy Casino and their suite of casino-type games. At this juncture, it would include the testing of a poker game. The caveat is always that if issues come up, then the beginning of the testing could slide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;This is an incredibly\nexciting time in Pennsylvania\u2019s online gambling market. The state\u2019s online\ncasinos and sportsbetting sites have thrived since their launch, and online\npoker will only bring in more revenue for the state while presenting local\nresidents with a wider range of gaming activities to enjoy online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully, a successful testing period for PokerStars will encourage other online poker operators to jump in. Harrah\u2019s has teamed up with WSOP.com while <strong>Penn National will be launching IGT poker games and MGM\u2019s online poker platform is rumoured to be run by GVC<\/strong>. So, we could see these online poker sites soon launching their products in Pennsylvania. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Players across Pennsylvania are keeping their fingers crossed, and hoping that everything goes smoothly during PokerStars\u2019 testing period. If everything goes smoothly, players in the Keystone state could be playing poker online as soon as next week \u2013 after waiting patiently for over three months.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There has been plenty of speculation about when online poker would finally become available in Pennsylvania.
