MEMORANDUM

Posted: February 14, 2024 12:49 PM
From: Representative George Dunbar
To: All House members
Subject: Pennsylvania Joining Multistate Poker Agreement
 
In the near future I plan on introducing legislation to direct the PA Gaming Control Board to request membership for Pennsylvania in MSIGA, the Multi State Internet Gaming Agreement. This membership will allow PA on-line poker players to compete with those in other MSIGA states (New Jersey, Michigan, Delaware and Nevada).

This action, also known as “shared liquidity”, is critical to a healthy on-line poker system. Much like what we have seen with multistate lottery contests, joining MSIGA will mean more players in the overall player pool. This makes for bigger tournaments allowing operators to offer bigger guarantees.

Since its inception, Pennsylvania has been the leader nationally in on-line poker revenue. Recently New Jersey, using the benefits of MSIGA, has surpassed us.

Join with me in co-sponsoring this legislation so that we may provide our poker players with a healthier system, more choices and return Pennsylvania to the top of the list in on-line poker revenue.
