Caesars Interactive Entertainment has surpassed PokerStars and Borgata to grab the leadership in the New Jersey online poker market.

PokerStars had been ranked the leader in the revenue ratings since it started out in the state in April 2016. This is the first time it lost the position.

This is also the first time Caesars has overtaken its rivals in terms of revenue since New Jersey legalised online gaming around five years ago.

The OnlinePokerReport.com website has cited New Jersey joining the Multi State Internet Gaming Association (MSIGA) as the main reason behind Caesars’ rise up the rankings.

Delaware and Nevada had been sharing poker liquidity since 2015, but New Jersey also recently entered the MSIGA.

In addition to its activities in New Jersey, Caesars is the sole operator of online poker in both Delaware and Nevada, thus making it the sole beneficiary of the interstate poker setup.
