This week's gambling news moves to the International Casino Expo, where we report from the floor of the venue. Discussion topics include online poker news and updates on regulated esports betting.
As we reported on March 29 in gambling news and online poker news videos, the rise of the daytime poker compact in the United States, and the shared liquidity agreement between Nevada, New Jersey, and Delaware has now been extended to Michigan. This is just the first step in an expansion that industry insiders think will first include Pennsylvania and possibly West Virginia as well. Michigan's participation in the daytime poker agreement is still contingent on the state's implementation of the agreement, of course. However, this seems a formality, and it's sure to be their fourth member. It's also worth noting that while this agreement certainly benefits online poker the most, it's not exclusive to poker. In fact, the specific wording of the announcement was intended to benefit players participating in "legitimate forms of internet gaming," where the purpose of shared liquidity seems to go beyond poker and even include games.
Esports Entertainment Group announced the successful completion of the 'soft play' phase of its New Jersey esports launch. Through their VIE.gg platform, state-registered bettors can bet on approved professional esports events. They are the first operators to be granted the right to fully launch New Jersey esports betting.
