PokerStars will become the first web poker site in the Keystone State, as Pennsylvania online poker kicks off November 4th… although it will only be a test launch. Still, the wait is over and the games are about to begin!
At a recent meeting of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board a spokesperson confirmed that they have staff '…prepared to initiate and oversee a test launch this Monday… it would include the testing of a poker game'.
This means that Pennsylvania online poker will not yet be available for everyone… just that they are testing the software and preparing to go live. Also remember that residents of the state will not be playing against anyone outside of Pennsylvania. Not yet, at least. So try not to be disappointed if there are no large multi-table tourney's like the famous PokerStars Sunday Million.

Online Poker In Pa Launch Date
It wasn't until April 2019 that a launch date was provided for Pennsylvania's online poker and casino sites. The PGCB said a coordinated launch would take place on July 15. As it turned out, only a few online casino sites launched on that date, but poker sites were left out in the cold with no more information provided. Poker has traveled a long road. Online gambling was made legal in Pennsylvania two years ago. A launch date of July 15 for online poker and casino sites was announced this spring, with two online casinos – Parx and Hollywood – going live at the time. Sugarhouse activated its casino site a few days later. Following a two-day soft launch period which began on November 4, the PokerStars online poker platform is officially open for business in Pennsylvania. Players physically located within state lines can now log on to PokerStarsMtAiryCasino.com to compete in real money cash games, multi-table tournaments, and one-table 'sit and go' tournaments. Lance and Donnie return for another episode of The Fives, talking Pennsylvania's online poker launch date, partypoker POWERFEST, PokerStars Sunday Million, the World Poker Tour's latest event, and the WSOP leaving the Rio.
