DraftKings Launches Real Money Online Poker in the US

[Cpvr]

Sports betting and casino giant DraftKings has launched a true player-vs-player online poker game called Electric Poker in Michigan. It could go down as one of the most important developments in US online poker in the last decade.

Players with an existing DraftKings Casino Michiganaccount can find the game in the casino lobby, on desktop or on mobile. Michigan online poker players who don’t yet have a DraftKings account can sign up today.

By signing up to play DraftKings Poker through our link, you can also claim a special Play $1, Get $100 Casino Credits instant bonus. However, at the time of writing, that $100 casino credits bonus cannot be used to play Electric Poker, however, any winnings derived from play using the bonus can be used at the Electric Poker tables.

And right now, we’re guessing these games are going to be very soft.
