PokerStars on FanDuel Prepares to Launch Mixed Games Starting With 8-Game

PokerStars on FanDuel is preparing to launch mixed games, starting with 8-Game. The exact launch timeframe remains unclear, although the games could go live as soon as this month or next. PokerStars representatives on the US Poker Community Discord have confirmed on multiple occasions that mixed games are coming to the new platform.

The iPoker dot-com network recently began spreading 8-Game, H.O.R.S.E., and 2-7 Triple Draw, while more formats are also being tested. This suggests that the underlying technology is capable of supporting the games, making regulatory approvals and the practical process of introducing them to the US market more likely explanations for the delay.

The September Dynasty Series will run from September 12 to 28 and features $3.5 million in guarantees for US players across 100 tournaments. The headline event is the $300-buy-in Main Event, which comes with a $350,000 guarantee, the largest on the schedule.
