Playtech has launched its iPoker network in North America for the first time, announced in June 2026 through a partnership with FanDuel. The integration makes FanDuel the first operator to carry Playtech’s poker platform in the region, with the product now live for customers in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ontario, Canada.
What Is the iPoker Network?
iPoker is Playtech’s long-running online poker network, one of the largest in the world by traffic. It connects players from multiple licensed operators onto a shared liquidity pool, which means larger player pools and more frequent game action compared with smaller stand-alone poker rooms. The network has operated in European regulated markets for decades and carries a well-established reputation for software quality and game fairness.
The Deal and Its Markets
The launch adds poker to an existing supply relationship between Playtech and FanDuel, which already uses Playtech content across its casino product. The new poker offering is live in all four jurisdictions simultaneously: Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania in the US, plus the regulated Ontario market in Canada. This makes it one of the broadest multi-state poker launches in North American iGaming history.
For Playtech, the move represents a significant milestone in its North American strategy. The company has been steadily expanding its US footprint since regulated state-by-state markets began opening, and adding poker network technology to its North American offering strengthens its position as a full-stack supplier.
What It Means for Players
FanDuel players in the four markets can now access online poker powered by Playtech’s proven network software. Shared liquidity across states โ where regulations permit โ could mean better table selection and shorter wait times compared with the smaller stand-alone poker rooms currently available in these states. Players looking for a regulated alternative to offshore poker platforms now have another major option through one of the country’s largest operators.
