'A Real Bipartisan Win'

The new legislation is expected to bring nearly $20 million to the state. Part of the new revenue has been allocated already to support the state's school aid fund ($4.8m) and the First Responder Presumed Coverage Fund ($4m).

Commenting on the bill, Gov. Whitmer called it 'a real bipartisan win,' as the revenue that will follow the legalisation of internet poker, casino, and sports betting is going to be used for the good of the community.

'My top priority in signing this legislation was protecting and investing in the School Aid Fund, because our students deserve leaders who put their education first,' Whitmer said as reported on ClickOnDetroit.

Background for legal online poker in the US

Legal US online poker sites debuted on April 30, 2013.

Ultimate Poker was the site that made history. Nevada was the first state to host fully legal online poker. Texas Hold ’em was the only game spread at Ultimate Poker during its first six months in business.

Next State To Legalize Pot

WSOP.com joined the Nevada online poker market on Sept. 17, 2013. The World Series of Poker’s online site brought the first games of Omaha, Omaha High/Low, Seven Card Stud and Seven Card Stud High/Low to Nevada.

WSOP.com now controls 99 percent of the Nevada market. This near-monopoly was caused by the shuttering of Ultimate Poker in November 2014.

Delaware was the second state to launch legal online poker. There is one network powered by 888. The state’s three racinos – Delaware Park, Dover Downs and Harrington Raceway – are skins on the Delaware poker network. Nevada and Delaware began pooling poker players in April 2015.
