The PartyPoker New Jersey / Borgata network isn’t waiting for the Times Square Ball to drop to make their New Year’s resolutions. Regarding their mobile client, they tweeted, “New Year’s resolution #1 – go mobile! Big upgrades coming in Jan.”

The network first rolled out their iOS and Android apps in November of 2013, with a less-than-enthusiastic response. The key issue was the lack of MTTs and SNGs, with the latter being added last summer. So it’s likely that Party is planning on adding MTTs as well in the New Year.

Following 2013 – when Delaware, New Jersey and Nevada launched iGaming operations – there were high hopes that more states would enter the US online poker market in 2014. However, it’s easy to see that this past year was a bust as we enter 2015. So what can we look forward to in the near future on the online gaming front?

Owned by California’s Pala Band of Mission Indians, Pala Interactive recently made their debut in the New Jersey online gaming market. There’s skepticism surrounding Pala’s ability to compete with better-established brands like WSOP.com and the Party Borgata network. But there’s also some optimism that they can carve a niche for themselves in New Jersey, given that Pala has an experienced iGaming CEO in Jim Ryan. One other possible benefit that they might have going for them – Phil Ivey.

New Jersey Online Poker won’t share Players until 2015

If we’re to base New Jersey iGaming success off of Gov. Chris Christie’s lofty prediction of $1 billion, Year One was quite underwhelming. The state’s six online gaming sites (five now) brought in $111 million in revenue, which is a number that many think could stand to improve. And one big potential improvement would be an interstate or international online poker pact.

There’s a new player in the New Jersey iGaming market – the California-based Pala Band of Mission Indians. They’ll be operating under the Pala Interactive brand and will partner up with Borgata – although they won’t be on the Party Borgata network. This is exciting news seeing as how the Pala Band is the first Indian tribe involved with New Jersey online gaming. Unfortunately, it’s hard to envision them having much success in the market, and here are three reasons why.

Why isn’t PokerStars in NJ Yet? Blame Chris Christie

We’re well past the vague timeline that New Jersey State Senator Ray Lesniak offered for when PokerStars would enter the US market. Back in early September, Lesniak famously said Stars was “only a few weeks away” from launching in New Jersey. This meant that the world’s largest online poker site would be available in New Jersey by early October at the latest. But here we are in November and there’s no sign of Stars yet – so what’s the holdup?

While many US states are still debating about how and when they’ll enter online gaming, New Jersey’s vision is clear: to become a market leader. And for the Garden State, their definition of market goes beyond just interstate pacts because they also want to share player liquidity with other countries too.
