BetRivers Poker is expected to receive full approval by Thursday after entering a soft launch phase to join the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement. It now supports pooled poker liquidity, making it the third operator in Pennsylvania to do so.
On Tuesday, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) verified with PlayPennsylvania that BetRivers Poker is one step closer to joining the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA) as a networking player.
The PGCB’s director of communications, Doug Harbach, stated that BetRivers, a division of Rush Street Interactive (RSI), “entered a soft launch for multi-state poker.” This makes it possible for the PGCB to guarantee that the platform meets all requirements, including those related to revenue accounting. A schedule for the upcoming launch was provided by Harbach:
“From what I understand, they should get full authorization as soon as Thursday, barring any setbacks.”

BetRivers will join MSIGA as a third platform.
In late April, Pennsylvania online poker joined MSIGA following the PGCB’s negotiation of the state into the compact, which also includes West Virginia, New Jersey, Michigan, and Delaware.
BetMGM Poker and WSOP had previously declared that they were prepared to begin pooling players from other markets on the first day of MSIGA in Pennsylvania.
Back in April, Harbach warned PlayPennsylvania that certain operators would be prepared to go live on the first day, but advised other platforms to take their time.
BetRivers launched more than six weeks after the state formally joined MSIGA, demonstrating its slow entry into the compact. The Michigan Gaming Control Board just gave the operator the all-clear on Tuesday.
