Before anything can be implemented, it must be approved by every member state.
IGaming providers in West Virginia must file a letter of intent to the Lottery in order to offer multi-state poker services. The West Virginia Lottery director, John Myers, claims that this calculated action would significantly boost the “potential pool of participants” and allow gamers the chance to take part in exciting poker games for bigger payouts.ĭirector Myers was excited to point out that multi-state poker is now available from West Virginia’s iGaming providers, which gives the state’s online gaming market a new angle. It is expected that the West Virginia Lottery’s decision to join the MSIGA-which was first launched in Nevada and Delaware in 2014-will result in a more expansive and dynamic gaming environment. With this change, gamers from Nevada, Michigan, Delaware, and New Jersey can now communicate with each other in online poker games within the state. Becoming the fifth state in the US to join the revolutionary Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA) is a major accomplishment for West Virginia.
